See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications APPLICATIONS y Satellite up and down converters y Defense radar & communication y VSAT PRODUCT OVERVIEW MDB-73H+ is an advanced wideband frequency mixer fabricated using InGap HBT technology with inte-grated LO and RF Baluns. It has repeatable performance making it suitable for volume production. It is packaged in tiny 4 mm x 4mm x 1mm MCLP Package having Tin Silver Nickel finish passing tin whisker test. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Results in excellent LO-RF (34-39 dB typical) & LO-IF (33-55 dB typical) Isolations mini-mizing need for external Double Balanced filtering Wide Bandwidth, 2.2 to 7 GHz Useful in wideband systems or in in several narrowband systems. Reducing inventory Usable in first (high IF~860 MHz)) and second down (low IF~70 MHz) converter applica-tions. IF as low as DC Wide IF Bandwidth DC-1600 MHz enables use in phase detector applications. Low Thermal Resistance Tj=88C typical at 85C ground lead Extremely High Reliability improving overall system reliability temperature & LO=+15 dBm 4 mm x 4 mm, 24 lead MCLP Package Low Inductance, repeatable transitions, excellent thermal contact to PCB Notes: a. Suitability for model replacement within a particular system must be determined by and is solely the responsibility of the customer based on, among other things, electrical performance criteria, stimulus conditions, application, compatibility with other components and environmental conditions and stresses. b. The Hittite HMC129LC4 part number is used for identification and comparison purposes only. REV. C ECO-009182 MDB-73H+ MCL NY 210820 www.minicircuits.com P.O.
