1.1 General Description

MM1-0212H is a GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer that is optimized for low frequency applications. MM1-0212H is a low frequency 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 moderate LO powers. The sister MM1-0212S is recommended for applications which demand higher linearity. The MM1-0212L is recommend for low power applications. The MM1-0212H is available as both wire bondable die and as connectorized modules. For a list of recommended LO driver amps for all mixers and IQ mixers, see here.

3.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings. Min Nominal Max Units TA, Ambient Temperature -55 +25 +100 °C LO Input Power +13 +17 dBm

3.4 Sequencing Requirements

There is no requirement to apply power to the ports in a specific order. However, it is recommended to provide a 50Ω termination to each port before applying power. This is a passive diode mixer that requires no DC bias.

3.5 Electrical Specifications

The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for the connectorized S package mixer used in the forward direction with a +15 dBm sine wave input. Specifications shown for configuration A (B). Min and Max limits apply only to our connectorized units and are guaranteed at TA=+25°C. All bare die are 100% DC tested and visually inspected.

3.6 Typical Performance Plots

3.6.1 Typical Performance Plots: IP3

3.6.2 Typical Performance Plots: LO Harmonic Isolation

3.6.3 Typical Spurious Performance: Down-Conversion

Typical spurious data is provided by selecting RF and LO frequencies (± m*LO ± n*RF) within the RF/LO bands, to create a spurious output within the IF band. The mixer is swept across the full spurious band and the mean is calculated. The numbers shown in the table below are for a -10 dBm RF input. Spurious suppression is scaled for different RF power levels by (n-1), where “n” is the RF spur order. For example, the 2RF x 2LO spur is 81 dBc for a -10 dBm input, so a -20 dBm RF input creates a spur that is (2-1) x (-10 dB) lower, or 91 dBc. Data is shown for the frequency plan in 3.6 Typical Performance. mLOx0RF plots can be found in section 3.6.2 Typical Performance Plots: LO Harmonic Isolation. 0LOx1RF plot is identical to the plot of LO-RF isolation. Typical Down-conversion spurious suppression (dBc): Config A (B) -10 dBm RF Input 0xLO 1xLO 2xLO 3xLO 4xLO 5xLO 0xRF - 48 (47) 54 (47) 61 (65) 64 (52) 69 (71) 1xRF 30 (15) Reference 33 (32) 11 (13) 43 (40) 24 (27) 2xRF 72 (71) 56 (57) 81 (82) 68 (65) 70 (74) 73 (66) 3xRF 93 (84) 61 (62) 89 (94) 77 (77) 90 (92) 68 (71) 4xRF 125 (130) 104 (110) 114 (118) 115 (116) 126 (130) 113 (116) 5xRF 139 (149) 120 (122) 127 (132) 116 (121) 136 (143) 123 (129)

3.6.4 Typical Spurious Performance: Up-Conversion

Typical spurious data is taken by mixing an input within the IF band, with LO frequencies (± m*LO ± n*IF), to create a spurious output within the RF output band. The mixer is swept across the full spurious output band and the mean is calculated. The numbers shown in the table below are for a -10 dBm IF input. Spurious suppression is scaled for different IF input power levels by (n-1), where “n” is the IF spur order. For example, the 2IFx1LO spur is typically 74 dBc for a - 10 dBm input with a sine-wave LO, so a -20 dBm IF input creates a spur that is (2-1) x (-10 dB) lower, or 84 dBc. Data is shown for the frequency plan in 3.6 Typical Performance. Typical Up-conversion spurious suppression (dBc): Config A (B) -10 dBm RF Input 0xLO 1xLO 2xLO 3xLO 4xLO 5xLO 0xIF - 79 (80) 68 (60) 43 (61) 79 (73) 53 (73) 1xIF 27 (19) Reference 34 (34) 11 (12) 43 (38) 32 (25) 2xIF 55 (70) 74 (76) 59 (56) 79 (79) 65 (58) 79 (76) 3xIF 92 (83) 73 (71) 82 (83) 64 (66) 86 (87) 72 (70) 4xIF 119 (120) 125 (126) 115 (111) 120 (123) 109 (106) 120 (120) 5xIF 139 (139) 114 (114) 130 (132) 105 (107) 129 (125) 111 (105)

4.1 Mounting and Bonding Recommendations

Marki MMICs should be attached directly to a ground plane with conductive epoxy. The ground plane electrical impedance should be as low as practically possible. This will prevent resonances and permit the best possible electrical performance. Datasheet performance is only guaranteed in an environment with a low electrical impedance ground. Mounting - To epoxy the chip, apply a minimum amount of conductive epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip. Cure epoxy according to manufacturer instructions. Wire Bonding - Ball or wedge bond with 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package or substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible <0.31 mm (12 mils). Circuit Considerations – 50 Ω transmission lines should be used for all high frequency connections in and out of the chip. Wirebonds should be kept as short as possible, with multiple wirebonds recommended for higher frequency connections to reduce parasitic inductance. In circumstances where the chip more than .001” thinner than the substrate, a heat spreading spacer tab is optional to further reduce bondwire length and parasitic inductance.

4.2 Handling Precautions

Chips should be handled with care using tweezers or a vacuum collet. Users should take precautions to protect chips from direct human contact that can deposit contaminants, like perspiration and skin oils on any of the chip's surfaces. Static Sensitivity GaAs MMIC devices are sensitive to ESD and should be handled, assembled, tested, and transported only in static protected environments. Cleaning and Storage: Do not attempt to clean the chip with a liquid cleaning system or expose the bare chips to liquid. Once the ESD sensitive bags the chips are stored in are opened, chips should be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
