QFN, 4x4mm
February 2010 - Rev 12-Feb-10
U1010-QH
Features
Integrated Balanced Mixer, LO Buffer and LO Doubler
+23.0 dBm Input Third Order Intercept (IIP3)
+2.0 dBm LO Drive Level
4x4mm QFN Package
100% RF and DC Testing
General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 17.0-34.0 GHz GaAs packaged
up-converter has an input third order intercept point
of +23.0 dBm and 10.0 dB of conversion loss. The
device consists of a balanced resistive pHEMT mixer,
LO buffer amplifier and LO doubler packaged in an
industry standard, fully molded 4x4mm QFN package.
IF and *IF mixer inputs are provided and an external
180 degree hybrid is required. The device includes
on-chip ESD protection structures and DC by-pass
capacitors to ease the implementation and volume
assembly of the packaged part. This device is well
suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS,
SATCOM and VSAT applications.

Handling and Assembly Information
CAUTION!
- Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human body and the
environment. For safety, observe the following procedures:
• Do not ingest.
• Do not alter the form of this product into a gas, powder, or liquid through burning, crushing, or chemical processing as these
by-products are dangerous to the human body if inhaled, ingested, or swallowed.
• Observe government laws and company regulations when discarding this product. This product must be discarded in
accordance with methods specified by applicable hazardous waste procedures.
Electrostatic Sensitive Device -
Observe all necessary precautions when handling.
Life Support Policy
- Mimix Broadband's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or
systems without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As used herein: (1) Life
support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain
life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be
reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component of a life support device or
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its
safety or effectiveness.
Package Attachment
- This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package compatible
with high volume solder installation. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and place this
part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF, DC and ground
connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation, but reduced reliability and
life of the product due to thermal stress.

Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program
- Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental
requirements for eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix RoHS compliant
components are form, fit and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of our RoHS compliant parts is
100% matte tin (Sn) over copper alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as
well as higher temperature (260°C reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
