Description and Applications
M/A-COM's MA4EXP240L-1277 is a silicon mono-
lithic 2300-2800 MHz , low barrier, double balanced
mixer in a low cost, miniature surface mount FQFP-N
3mm Square, 16 lead plastic package. The die uses
M/A-COM’s unique HMIC silicon/glass process to
realize low loss passive elements while retaining the
advantages of low barrier silicon schottky barrier
diodes to produce a compact device.
These mixers are well suited for applications where
small size and high performance are required. Typi-
cal applications include frequency conversion,
modulation, and demodulation in wireless receivers
and transmitters.
