General Description
Pin Configuration
The ML483 high linearity converter combines a passive
GaAs FET mixer with an integrated LO driver in an ultrasmall
lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant
MSOP-8
package. The double-balanced integrated IC operates
across a 0.7-1.5 GHz frequency range to achieve +36
dBm Input IP3 while drawing a very low 50mA current.
The ML483 can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter in a low-side or high-side LO
configuration.

The integrated LO buffer amplifier enables operation
directly from a synthesizer requiring only 0 dBm of drive
level. 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. The
converter requires no external baluns and supports a
wide range of IF frequencies.
Typical applications include frequency up/down
conversion, modulation and demodulation for receivers
and transmitters in mobile infrastructure. Due to the
wide frequency range of operation, the converter can
also be used for ISM and fixed wireless applications.
The ML483 is footprint and pin compatible with
TriQuint’s 1.6-3.2 GHz ML485 mixer for high band
applications.

NOTES:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. We recommend a 0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diameter of 0.25 mm (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
