Description

M/A-COM’s MA4EX180M-1225 is a silicon monolithic
1300-1900 MHz, medium barrier, double balanced mixer in
a low cost miniature surface mount SOT-25 package. The
die uses M/A-COM’s unique HMIC silicon/glass process
to achieve low loss passive elements while retaining the
advantages of medium barrier silicon Schottky diodes.

Applications

These mixers are well suited for high volume wireless and
cellular applications where small size and repeatability are
required. Typical applications include frequency
conversion, modulation, and demodulation for receivers
and transmitters in both portable cellular and base
station applications.
