Description  
The MAMX
–
011075 is an image
–
reject passive diode  
mixer MMIC. The mixer offers low conversion loss,  
high linearity, high image rejection and a wide IF  
bandwidth. The image
–
reject circuit configuration  
provides excellent port isolation while internal 50
Ω  
matching simplifies its application.

Handling Procedures  
Please observe the following precautions to avoid  
damage:  
LO Power  
23 dBm  
20 dBm  
Static Sensitivity  
RF or IF Power  
These electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic  
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static electricity.  
Proper ESD control techniques should be used when  
handling these devices with the following JEDEC rating:  
HBM Class 1A  
Junction Temperature

7  

Operating Temperature  
Storage Temperature  
+150°C  
–
40°C to +85°C  
–
65°C to +150°C  
CDM Class C3  
5. Exceeding
 
any one or combination of these limits may cause  
permanent damage to this device.  
6. MACOM
 
does not recommend sustained operation near these  
survivability limits.  
7.
Operating at nominal conditions with T

J

≤
+150°C will ensure  
MTTF > 1 x 10

6

hours. Thermal resistance,
Θ

JC

is 85°C/W.
