Device Overview

General Description

The MDPX-00005PSM is a MMIC surface mount diplexer capable of multiplexing low frequency DC to 8 GHz and high frequency 10 to 28 GHz signals. Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller filter constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Tight fabrication tolerances allow for less unit-to-unit variation than traditional filter technologies. The MDPX-00005PSM is available as a 4x4mm QFN and connectorized evaluation board. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S3P file taken from measured production units.

Port Configuration and Functions

Port Diagram

A bottom-up x-ray view of the MDPX-00005PSM’s PSM package outline drawing is shown below. Input to the diplexer is on Pin 17, Pin 3 will be the output after passing through a high pass filter and Pin 9 will be the output after passing through the low pass filter.
