Product Overview
Mini-Circuits MAC mixers employ a unique new design and a highly repeatable, tightly controlled, automated
process that delivers industry-leading reliability at a remarkably affordable price. Schottky diode quads meeting
our strict specifications are bonded to a multilayer integrated LTCC substrate, and then hermetically sealed
under a controlled atmosphere with gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These passive, double-
balanced mixers have been tested to MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration,
acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL, and every MAC mixer is backed with our 3-year guarantee.
