Data Sheet January 1999 File Number
2.3GHz UpConverter with Gain Control
™
The HFA3663 UpConverter with Gain
Control is a monolithic bipolar device
for up conversion applications in the
2.0GHz to 2.3GHz range.
Manufactured in the Intersil UHF1X
process, the device consists of a double balanced mixer
followedby a variablegain powerpreamp. An energy saving,
TTL Compatible, power enable input provides on/off bias
current control to the mixer and amplifier. The device
requires low drive levels from the local oscillator and is
housed in a small outline 20 lead SSOP package ideally
suited for PCMCIA card applications.
