Description
The MA4EX600L1-1225T is a silicon monolithic
4.2 - 6.0 GHz, medium barrier, double balanced
mixer in a low cost miniature surface mount SOT-25
package. The die uses MACOM’s unique HMIC
silicon/glass process to achieve low loss passive
elements while retaining the advantages of medium
barrier silicon Schottky diodes.
