IAM-91563
Hewlett-Packard’s IAM-91563 is an economical 3V GaAs MMIC mixer used for frequency down-conver- sion. RF frequency coverage is from 0.8 to 6 GHz and IF coverage is from 50 to 700 MHz. Packaged in the SOT-363 package, this
4.0Ê sq. mm. package requires half the board space of a SOT-143 and only 15% the board space of an SO-8 package.
At 1.9 GHz, the IAM-91563 provides 9 dB of conversion gain, thus eliminating an RF or IF gain stage normally needed with a lossy mixer. LO drive power is nominally only -5 dBm, eliminating an LO buffer amplifier. The 8.5 dB noise figure is low enough to allow the system to use a low cost LNA. The -6 dBm Input IP3 provides adequate system linearity for most commercial applications, but is adjustable to 0 dBm.
The circuit uses GaAs PHEMT technology with proven reliability, and uniformity. The MMIC consists of a cascode FET structure that provides unbalanced gm modulation type mixing. An onchip LO buffer amp drives the mixer while bias circuitry allows a single +3V supply (through a choked IF port). The LO port is internally matched to 50 Ω. The RF and IF ports are high impedance and require external match-
ing networks.

Notes:
1.Guaranteed specifications are 100% tested in the circuit in Figure 18 in the Applications Information section.
2.Standard deviation number is based on measurement of at least 500 parts from three non-consecutive wafer lots during the initial characterization of this product, and is intended to be used as an estimate for distribution of the typical specification.
