Description
The MAMX-011021 is a passive mixer “engine”
assembled in a 1.5 x 1.2 mm TDFN 6-lead plastic
package. This device is designed for more linear
applications such as high bit rate transmitters and
receivers which may be used in Point-to-Point,
Satcom or LAN applications. The mixer has 8 dB of
conversion loss and 23 dBm of input intercept point
(IIP3).

This mixer can be used for either lower sideband
(LSB) or upper sideband (USB) mixing. Two of
these mixers can be combined in a quadrature
configuration for image rejection.

Positive bias voltage (< 1 V) can be applied to the
LO or the VG (optional) pin to reduce LO drive
requirements. The VG pin is internally bypassed.
Positive bias voltage (< 1 V) can also be applied to
the IF pin to optimize device linearity.
