AMMP-6120-BLK

Overview

The AMMP-6120-BLK is an active frequency multiplier MMIC manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It operates within a frequency range of 8 GHz to 24 GHz, providing a doubling function (x2). The device utilizes silicon technology and is housed in an 8-SMD (5x5) surface-mount package. Electrical specifications include a maximum supply voltage of 5 V and a minimum of -1.4 V, with a typical operating current of 112 mA. Output power ranges from -11 dBm to 5 dBm. The component is classified under RF Wireless Miscellaneous ICs.

Feature Summary

• Provides x2 frequency multiplication for RF signal processing
• Operates across the 8 GHz to 24 GHz frequency band
• Integrated Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) design

Applications

• DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) systems
• VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) communications
• Wireless Local Loop (WLL) infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify end-of-life status before integration, as this component may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Confirm that the 8-SMD package dimensions match your PCB footprint exactly. Ensure supply chain sources provide authentic Broadcom products to avoid counterfeit risks associated with legacy RF components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for 8-24 GHz frequency doubling is required. The silicon-based MMIC offers integrated performance suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the specific output power requirements (-11 to 5 dBm) against system link budgets. Verify compatibility with existing biasing circuits given the 112 mA current draw.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMMP series of RF MMICs from Broadcom Limited. It serves as a specialized frequency multiplier for high-frequency wireless applications. The BLK suffix typically denotes bulk packaging, distinguishing it from tape-and-reel variants like the TR1 or TR2 versions within the same functional family.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineering teams should consult Broadcom directly for obsolescence management or qualified alternative devices.
