MUX-PO9824 7.5-30GHz Frequency Multiplier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The MUX-PO9824 is a frequency multiplier by 4 monolithic circuit. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounds. This helps simplify the assembly process. The circuit is manufactured with a P-HEMT process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. Main Features ■ Broadband performance : 6.25-8.25 GHz ■ 11dBm output power for +12dBm input power ■ DC power consumption, 75mA @ 3.5V (with RF) ■ Chip size : 2.02 x 1.17 x 0.10 mm Main Characteristics Tamb=25°C Symbol Fin Parameter Min Input frequency range Fout Output frequency range Pin Input power Typ Max Unit 6.25 8.25 GHz 25 33 GHz 12 Pout 4xFin Output power for +12dBm input power 8 11 dBm 14 dBm ESD Protection : Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.
