Features

• Low Cost Miniature Plastic Package

• 6.5 dB Typical Conversion Loss at 850 MHz

• +3 to +7 dBm LO Drive

• HMICTM Process

• Silicon Low Barrier Schottky Diodes

• DC - 400 MHz IF Bandwi dth

Description

M/A-COM’s MA4EX900L-1226 is a silicon mono-

lithic double balanced low barrier mixer in a low

cost surface mount 8 lead plastic MSOP package.

The die uses M/A-COM’s unique HMICTM silicon/

glass process to achieve low loss passive elements

while retaining the advantages of low barrier silicon

Schottky diodes.

Applications

These mixers are well suited for high volume wire-

less and cellular applications where small size and

repeatability are required. Typical Applications in-

clude frequency conversion, modulation, and de-

modulation for receivers and transmitters in both

portable cellular and base station applications.
