The MAMXSS0011 is ideally suited for use where high level RF signals and very wide dynamic range are required. Typical applications include frequency up/down conversion, modulation, demodulation in systems such as cellular receivers and transmitters and 900 MHz ISM band applications. The MAMXSS0011 uses FETs as mixing elements to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive levels of +11 dBm to +23 dBm. DC bias is not required. External matching network on LO Port: R = 470 ohms, L = 18 nH, C = 4.7 pF Pin Configuration Pin No. Function Pin No. Function 1 Ground 5 Ground 2 RF Port 6 LO Port 3 Ground 7 IF Port 4 Ground 8 Ground M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0011 is fabricated using a mature 1-micron GaAs process. The process features full IC passivation for increased performance and reliability.

Harmonic of LO Absolute Maximum Parameter Harmonic of RF The spurious table shows the spurious signals resulting from the mixing of the RF and LO input signals, assuming down conversion. Mixing products are indicated by the number of dB below the conversion loss. The lower frequency mixing term is shown for two different RF input levels. The top number is for an RF input power of -5 dBm, the lower number is for -15 dBm. |mFRF - nFLO |, RF = -5 dBm |mFRF - nFLO |, RF = -15 dBm RF Frequency = 900 MHz LO Frequency = 840 MHz • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 / Fax: 978.366.2266 • Europe Tel: 44.1908.574.200 / Fax: 44.1908.574.300 • Asia/Pacific Tel: 81.44.844.8296 / Fax: 81.44.844.8298 Visit www.macom.com for additional data sheets and product information.
