Description
M/A-COM’s MA4EX180L-1225 is a silicon monolithic 1300 -
1900 MHz double balanced mixer in a low cost miniature surface
mount SOT-25 package. The dies uses M/A-COM’s unique
HMIC™ silicon/glass process to achieve low loss passive ele-
ments while retaining the advantages of low barrier silicon Schot-
tky diodes.

Applications
These mixers are well suited for high volume wireless applications
where small size and repeatability are required. Typical applica-
tions include frequency conversion, modulation, and demodula-
tion for receivers and transmitters in both portable PCS and base
station applications.
