Low Cost Plastic SOIC Package

Description

M/A-COM’s MD54-0003 is a passive mixer that achieves
the performance of a double balanced diode mixer in a
low cost surface mount plastic SOIC 8-lead package. The
MD54-0003 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 MD54-0003 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.

M/A-COM’s MD54-0003 is fabricated using a mature
1-micron GaAs process. The process features full IC
passivation for increased performance and reliability.

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

C

-5 dBm, the lower number is for -15 dBm.
