ML401-G

ML401 Product Features • High dynamic range mixer with integrated LO driver • +31 dBm Input IP3 • 8 dB Conversion Loss • RF: 1700 – 2200 MHz • LO: 1550 – 2150 MHz • IF: 50 – 250 MHz • 0 dBm Drive Level • RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 pkg The Communications Edge TM Product Information 1.7–2.2 GHz High IP3 Mixer with Integrated LO Amp Product Description The ML401 high linearity upconverter or downconverter combines a passive GaAs MESFET mixer with an integrated HBT LO driver in a low-cost leadfree/green/RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package. WJ’s ML401 uses patented techniques to realize +31 dBm Input IP3 with 8 dB conversion loss using an LO drive level of 0 dBm in a downconverting application. The on-chip diplexer in the mixers allows for good matching on the RF and IF ports. The dual-stage LO driver provides a stable input power level into the mixer to allow for consistent performance over a wide range of LO power levels. Typical applications include frequency up/down conversion, modulation and demodulation for receivers and transmitters used in 2.5G and 3G GSM/CDMA/W-CDMA systems in the DCS, PCS, or UMTS frequency bands.

IIP3 is measured with Δf = 1 MHz with RFin = 0 dBm / tone. LO is injected with 0 dBm. This refers to the operating current under LO drive. The current can be reduced by increasing the value of the R2 resistor slightly.
