SA612AD/01

The SA612AD/01 is a low-power VHF monolithic double-balanced Mixer IC with on-board oscillator and voltage regulator. It is intended for low-power communication systems with signal frequencies to 500MHz and local oscillator frequencies as high as 200MHz. The mixer is a "Gilbert cell" multiplier configuration which provides gain of 14dB or more at 45MHz. The oscillator can be configured for a crystal, a tuned tank operation or as a buffer for an external LO. Noise figure at 45MHz is typically below 6dB and makes the device well suited for high performance cordless phone/cellular radio. The low power consumption makes the SA612AD/01 excellent for battery operated equipment. Networking and other communications products can benefit from very low radiated energy levels within systems.
