ATR0786

Features • • • • • • Active Mixer with Conversion Gain Integrated LO and IF Drivers Excellent Linearity Broadband 50 W Impedance on all Ports Low LO-RF Leakage Differential or Single Ended Inputs Benefits • Small and Thin 16-pin SSOP Package with Exposed Paddle • Few External Components • Fully ESD Protected Application • DCS/PCS/TDMA and CDMA2000 Transmitter • Other Digital Communication Applications • High Performance RF Instrumentation High Linearity Active Transmit Mixer for 1800 MHz to 2100 MHz ATR0786 Description The ATR0786 is a high linearity active mixer which is manufactured using Atmel´s advanced Silicon Germanium technology for the use in a variety of high performance requiring RF systems such as digital communications. This mixer features a frequency range of 1800 MHz to 2100 MHz. It operates from a single 5 V supply and provides 16 dB of conversion gain while requiring only 0 dBm input to the integrated LO driver. An IF and an LO amplifier is also included. The ATR0786 incorporates internal matching on each RF, IF and LO port to enhance ease of use and to reduce the external components required. The RF and LO inputs can be driven differentially or single ended. Figure 1. Block Diagram IF_IN+ 8 IF_IN12 9 5 RF_Out+ LO_IN+ 13 LO_IN- 4 RF_Out- Rev. 4587B–SIGE–02/03 1 Pin Configuration Figure 2.
