The MAMXSS0010 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 base station receivers and transmitters for DCS1800, PCS and PHS applications. The MAMXSS0010 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. No DC bias is required. External matching network on LO Port: R = 330 ohms, L = 3 nH, C = 3.3 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 MAMXSS0010 is fabricated using a mature 1-micron GaAs process. The process features full IC passivation for increased performance and reliability.

Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 3. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 4. Total combined power for RF and LO ports should not exceed +23 dBm. Handling Procedures Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage: Static Sensitivity 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 = 1850 MHz LO Frequency = 1710 MHz 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. 2 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
