Refer to Avago Application Note A004R:

Electrostatic Discharge, Damage and Control.

Description

Avago’s AMMP-6546 is an easy-to-use broadband sub-

harmonic mixer, with the LO injected at half of the

frequency of that required by a conventional mixer.

AMMP-6546 is similar to AMMP-6545 except that the

layout is a mirror image designed to ease integration into

transmitter or receiver designs. The MMIC includes an 180°

balanced diode based mixer. The MMIC is fabricated using

PHEMT technology. The surface mount package allows

elimination of “chip & wire” assembly for lower cost. This

MMIC is a cost effective alternative to multi-chip solution

that have higher loss and complex assembly.

Applications

• Microwave radio systems

• Satellite VSAT, DBS up/down link

• LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW long haul

• Broadband wireless access (including 802.16 and

802.20 WiMax)

• WLL and MMDS loops
