Analog Devices announced the LTC5552, a double balanced mixer that features best-in-class wideband matching from 3 GHz to 20 GHz. The mixer can be used as an up- or down-converter. The LTC5552 is especially useful in up-conversion applications with its
The LTC5552’s exceptionally wide bandwidth and performance is ideal for a broad range of applications, including 5G broadband wireless access, microwave backhaul, satellite broadband radios, radar systems, active antenna arrays, X, Ku and Ka band transceivers, RF test equipment, spectrum analysis and satellite communications. The LTC5552 is offered in a tiny 12-lead, 3mm x 2mm plastic QFN package. The device is rated from –40°C to 105°C case temperature to support extended environmental operating temperatures. The mixer is powered from a single 3.3 V supply and typically consumes 132 mA supply current. Additionally, the LTC5552 can be shut down via an enable pin. When deactivated, the device draws only 100 μA maximum standby current. The enable pin can also be driven directly to turn the device on and off rapidly in less than 0.2μs, supporting time-division duplex (TDD) or burst mode type transmitters and receivers. The LTC5552 is priced starting at $22.00 each in 1,000-piece quantities.
