MD54-0004 MMIC Medium Level Mixer 800 - 1000 MHz Rev. V5 Functional Diagram Features • • • • • Low Conversion Loss 1 dB Compression: +21 dBm LO Drive Level: +11 to +23 dBm DC - 100 MHz IF Bandwidth Low Cost Plastic SOIC-8 Package 8 7 6 5 1 2 3 4 Description M/A-COM’s MD54-0004 is a passive mixer that achieves the performance of a double balanced diode mixer in a low cost surface mount plastic SOIC-8 lead package. The MD54-0004 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 MD54-0004 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 +25 dBm. DC bias is not required. External matching network on LO Port: R = 470 ohms, L = 18 nH, C = 4.7 pF Pin Configuration M/A-COM’s MD54-0004 is fabricated using a mature 1-micron GaAs process. The process features full IC passivation for increased performance and reliability.

Proper ESD control techniques should be used when handling these devices. 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 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
