RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the part status before procurement, as the AK1222 is listed as Not For New Designs. Confirm compatibility with existing system requirements if using this component for legacy or replacement purposes. Ensure that the supply voltage and current specifications align with the target application's power constraints. Check for available stock levels as availability may be limited due to its discontinued status.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select the AK1222 only for applications requiring an RF mixer within the 100-900 MHz range. Consider its low power profile when designing power-sensitive circuits. Evaluate the 0 dB gain characteristic against system signal level requirements. Since it is not recommended for new designs, assess alternative modern components for new product development projects to ensure long-term support and availability.
