Description
M/A-COM’s MA4EX900L-MOT is a silicon monolithic
double balanced low barrier mixer in a low cost surface
mount 8 lead plastic MSOP package. The die uses
M/A-COM’s unique HMIC™ silicon/glass process to
achieve low loss passive elements while retaining the
advantages of low barrier silicon Schottky diodes.
Applications
These mixers are well suited for high volume wireless
and cellular applications where small size and
repeatability are required. Typical applications include
frequency conversion, modulation, and demodulation
for receivers and transmitters in both portable cellular
and base station applications.
