ML501

ML501 Product Features • High dynamic range mixer with integrated LO driver • +30 dBm Input IP3 • 8 dB Conversion Loss • RF: 1900 – 2700 MHz • LO: 1600 – 2500 MHz • IF: 50 – 500 MHz • 0 dBm Drive Level • RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 pkg The Communications Edge TM Product Information 1.9–2.7 GHz High IP3 Mixer with Integrated LO Amp Product Description The ML501 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 ML501 uses patented techniques to realize +30 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/WCDMA systems in the PCS, or UMTS frequency bands. They can also be used for WiBro/WiLAN/WiMAX infrastructure requiring high linearity frequency conversion. Functional Diagram LO 1 8 RF 7 GND 6 GND 5 IF The backside paddle is Ground.

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.
