Device Overview

General Description

The MM1-1040HPSM is a GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer suitable for both up and down-conversion applications. As with all Marki Microwave mixers, it features excellent conversion loss, isolation and spurious performance across a broad bandwidth and in a small form factor. The MM1-1040HPSM is available in a lead-free, RoHS compliant 3x3 mm QFN package and is compatible with standard leaded and lead-free PCB reflow soldering processes. Evaluation boards are also available.

Port Configuration and Functions

Port Diagram

A bottom-up view of the MM1-1040HPSM’s PSM package outline drawing is shown below. The MM1-1040HPSM has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-1040HPSM can be used in either an up or down conversion application. For configuration A, input the LO into pin 2, use pin 8 for the RF, and pin 5 for the IF. For configuration B, input the LO into pin 8, use pin 2 for the RF, and pin 5 for the IF.
