Description
M/A-COM’s MAIA-007495-000100 is an integrated
assembly containing a GaAs FET MMIC LNA and
GaAs FET mixer. This device is packaged in a 16
leaded QSOP plastic surface mount package. The
amplifier can be biased with either +3V or +5V, the
mixer requires no DC bias. The conversion gain of
the integrated combination is typically 6 dB at +3V
bias and 8 dB at +5V bias. The SA65-0003 is ideally
suited for RF/IF communications applications
requiring down conversion with some gain.

For IP3 measurements, RFIN = -24 dBm, this low RF IN level gets amplified through the LNA.
For IP3 measurements, RFIN2 = RFIN1 + 10 MHz, LO = RFIN1—140 MHz.
For IP3 measurements, IP3 = IMR/2 + PIN.
RF IN to IF Isolation is typically 0 dB.
Reverse Isolation is measured from IF to RFIN with the IF at –10 dBm, LO at +13 dBm.
The amplifier has a normal gain of 12.5 dB, 3V bias and 14.0 dB, 5V bias. Amplifier typical Noise Figure = 1.5 dB.

11.M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
12.Total power for RF and LO ports should not exceed +23 dBm.
13.When pin #2 is used to increase current—see note 8 above.
14.Thermal resistance (θjc) = +95°C/W.
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.

The spurious table shows the spurious signals resulting from
the mixing of the RFIN and LO input signals, assuming down
conversion. The number of dB below the conversion loss level
indicates the mixing products.
The lower frequency
mixing term is shown for two different input levels. The top
number is for an RFIN power level of –19 dB; the lower
number is for –29 dB.
Assuming the LNA gain is
approximately 14 dB, the mixer input will see approximately
–5 dB and –15 dB.
|mFRF - nFLO|, RF = -19 dB
|mFRF - nFLO|, RF = -29 dB
RF = 1850 MHz
LO = 1710 MHz
15. All external circuitry parts are readily available, low cost
surface mount components (.060 in. x .030 in. or .080 in.
x .050 in.).
16. Pin 2 allows use of an external resistor to ground for optional higher current. For 20 mA operation, no resistor is
used.
For IDD ≈ 30 mA, R2 = 43 Ohms
For IDD ≈ 45 mA, R2 = 15 Ohms
For IDD ≈ 60 mA, R2 = 10 Ohms
