The TriQuint TGC1411-EPU is a double balanced
MMIC mixer design using TriQuint’ proven 0.25 um
s
Power pHEMT process to support a variety of
communication system applications including satellite.
The double balanced design consists of an integrated
Gilbert cell mixer core, RF/LO baluns, differential
combiner, and output driver amplifier. The TGC1411
may be operated from a single +3 V to +5 V power
supply with typical current draw of 26 mA. The
nominal LO power requirement is -5 dBm. The
TGC1411 may also be operated as an up-converter.
The TGC1411 requires a minimum of off-chip
components employing only a 100 pF off-chip bypass
capacitor for the power supply line. No additional off-
chip RF matching components are required. Each
device is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to ensure
performance compliance. The device is available in
chip form.
