SA612A Double-balanced mixer and oscillator Rev. 3 4 June 2014 Product data sheet 1. General description The SA612A is a low-power VHF monolithic double-balanced mixer with on-board oscillator and voltage regulator. It is intended for low cost, low-power communication systems with signal frequencies to 500 MHz and local oscillator frequencies as high as 200 MHz. The mixer is a Gilbert cell multiplier configuration that provides gain of 14 dB or more at 45 MHz. The oscillator can be configured for a crystal, a tuned tank operation, or as a buffer for an external LO. Noise figure at 45 MHz is typically below 6 dB and makes the device well-suited for high-performance cordless phone/cellular radio. The low power consumption makes the SA612A excellent for battery-operated equipment. Networking and other communications products can benefit from very low radiated energy levels within systems. The SA612A is available in an 8-lead SO (surface-mounted miniature package). 2. Features and benefits Low current consumption Low cost Operation to 500 MHz Low radiated energy Low external parts count suitable for crystal/ceramic filter Excellent sensitivity, gain, and noise figure 3.
