MM1-0212L is a low power GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer that operates at LO powers as a low as +1 dBm. MM1-0212L is a low frequency, low power S band mixer that works well as both an up and down converter to through X band. This mixer offers low conversion loss and high LO to RF isolations at extremely low LO drives. The sister MM1-0212H and MM1-0212S are recommended for high linearity applications. The MM1-0212L is available as both wire bondable die and as connectorized modules.

A top-down view of the MM1-0212L’s CH package outline drawing is shown below. The MM1-0212L has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-0212L can be used in either an up or down conversion. For configuration A, input the LO into port 1, use port 3 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF. For configuration B, input the LO into port 3, use port 1 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF.
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | CH package ground path is provided through the substrate and ground bond pads. |  |
| Port 1 | LO | Port 1 is DC short for the CH and S packages. |  |
| Port 2 | IF | Port 2 is diode connected for the CH and S package. |  |
| Port 3 | RF | Port 3 is DC open for the CH and S packages. |  |
