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
Class 1A (HBM) devices.
6. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
7. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend
sustained operation near these survivability limits.
8.
Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤
+150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours.

Application Information
The MAMX-011009 is designed to be economical
and easy to use. By employing a sub-harmonic
topology, the user only has to deal with one high
frequency port (RF). This simplifies system design,
lowers cost, and combined with an ultra-small
plastic package delivers a superior system solution.
The MAMX-011009 design allows bi-direction
frequency conversion (IF to RF or RF to IF). The
conversion loss, isolation, and linearity are similar
either way.
For proper up or down frequency mixing the
MAMX-011009 must be driven with sufficient power
to activate the mixing diodes, typically 14 dBm or
higher. We highly recommend M/A-COM
Technology Solutions MAAM-011101, which has
been engineered to match the LO requirements of
the MAMX-011009.

Grounding
The printed circuit board (PCB) layout is simple for
the MAMX-011009 since no external components
are needed. The LO port is internally DC blocked;
DC voltages up to 20 V are acceptable. However,
proper grounding must be used for operation. It is
recommended that the total common ground
inductance not exceed 0.03 nH. This is equivalent
to placing a least four 8-mil (200
μm)
diameter vias
under the device, assuming an 8-mil (200
μm)
thick
RF layer to ground. More ground vias are recom-
mended if possible.
