Device Overview

General Description

The ML1-0110SM is a Surface Mount Microlithic™ double balanced mixer. As with all Microlithic™ mixers, it features excellent conversion loss, isolation, and spurious performance across a broad bandwidth and in a miniaturized form factor. Accurate, nonlinear software models are available for Microwave Office through the Marki Microwave PDK. The ML1-0110SM is a lead free, RoHS compliant package compatible with standard leaded and lead-free solder reflows. SMA connectorized evaluation packages are available. The ML1-0110SM is an excellent alternative to Marki Microwave M1 and M3 mixers packaged in surface mount packages such as the EZ package.
