Description
M/A-COM’s MAIA-007495-000100 is an integrated
assembly containing a GaAs FET MMIC LNA and
GaAs FET mixer. This device is packaged in a 16
leaded QSOP plastic surface mount package. The
amplifier can be biased with either +3V or +5V, the
mixer requires no DC bias. The conversion gain of
the integrated combination is typically 6 dB at +3V
bias and 8 dB at +5V bias. The SA65-0003 is ideally
suited for RF/IF communications applications
requiring down conversion with some gain.
This MCM contains a mixer that is fabricated using a
mature 1-micron GaAs process, it also contains an
LNA that is fabricated using a low cost mature 0.5-
micron gate length GaAs MESFET process. Both die
feature full passivation for increased performance
and reliability.

RF IN to IF Isolation is typically 0 dB.
Reverse Isolation is measured from IF to RFIN with the IF at –10 dBm, LO at +13 dBm.
The amplifier has a normal gain of 12.5 dB, 3V bias and 14.0 dB, 5V bias. Amplifier typical Noise Figure = 1.5 dB.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
10.Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
11.M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
12.Total power for RF and LO ports should not exceed +23 dBm.
13.When pin #2 is used to increase current—see note 8 above.
14.Thermal resistance (θjc) = +95°C/W.

Harmonic
of RFIN (m)
The spurious table shows the spurious signals resulting from
the mixing of the RFIN and LO input signals, assuming down
conversion. The number of dB below the conversion loss level
indicates the mixing products.
The lower frequency
mixing term is shown for two different input levels. The top
number is for an RFIN power level of –19 dB; the lower
number is for –29 dB.
Assuming the LNA gain is
approximately 14 dB, the mixer input will see approximately
–5 dB and –15 dB.
