AMMP-6530-BLK

Overview

The AMMP-6530-BLK is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) image reject mixer manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It operates within a frequency range of 5 GHz to 30 GHz and utilizes GaAs technology. The component features a maximum conversion loss of 8 dB and a noise figure of 10 dB. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and is housed in an 8-SMD surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates image rejection mixing functionality into a single MMIC structure for simplified system design.
• Operates across a wide millimeter-wave frequency spectrum from 5 GHz to 30 GHz.
• Utilizes Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) technology for high-frequency performance.

Applications

• ISM band applications
• DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) systems
• Wireless communication links

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as the component may be classified as obsolete or end-of-life. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required package type. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management strategies before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an integrated image reject solution is required within the 5-30 GHz range. Consider the 8 dB conversion loss and 10 dB noise figure specifications against system link budget requirements. Evaluate the wide operating temperature range for suitability in harsh environmental conditions compared to standard commercial grade alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMMP series of RF mixers produced by Broadcom Limited. It is designed for high-frequency wireless applications requiring compact integration. The device represents a specialized MMIC solution distinct from general-purpose amplifiers or standard mixers, focusing specifically on image rejection capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify if the related AMMP-6545-BLKG serves as a functional alternative for higher frequency ranges, though direct pin-to-pin substitution requires independent validation.
