Functional Block Diagram
General Description
The ML501 high linearity upconverter or downconverter
combines a passive GaAs MESFET mixer with an
integrated HBT LO driver in a low-cost lead-
free/green/RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package. The ML501
uses patented techniques to realize +30 dBm Input IP3
with 8 dB conversion loss using an LO drive level of 0
dBm in a downconverting application. The on-chip
diplexer in the mixers allows for good matching on the RF
and IF ports. The dual-stage LO driver provides a stable
input power level into the mixer to allow for consistent
performance over a wide range of LO power levels.
Typical applications include frequency up/down
conversion, modulation and demodulation for receivers
and
transmitters
used
in
2.5G
and
3G
GSM/CDMA/WCDMA systems in the PCS, or UMTS
frequency bands.
They can also be used for
WiBro/WiLAN/WiMAX infrastructure requiring high
linearity frequency conversion.

Notes:
1. IIP3 is measured with
Δf
= 1 MHz with RFin = 0 dBm / tone.
2. LO is injected with 0 dBm.
3. This refers to the operating current under LO drive. The current can be reduced by increasing the value of the R2 resistor slightly.
