CSM2-17

RF Mixers Overview

The CSM2-17 is a low-cost, high IP3 RF mixer IC designed for PCS and WLL applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10MHz to 2.8GHz. The component utilizes Schottky bridge quad diodes, broadband ferrite baluns, and internal loads to ensure excellent performance without degradation due to external VSWR mismatches. It features a termination insensitive design suitable for surface mount installation.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Termination insensitive design utilizing internal loads to prevent performance degradation from external VSWR mismatches
• High third-order intercept point (IP3) characteristics for improved linearity
• Low cost construction optimized for PCS and WLL applications
• Surface mount package configuration for automated assembly

RF Mixers Applications

• Personal Communications Services (PCS)
• Wireless Local Loop (WLL)
• Downconverter applications in wireless infrastructure

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and electrical parameters directly with MACOM Technology Solutions before procurement. Confirm that the operating frequency range and IP3 requirements align with your system specifications. Ensure compatibility with surface mount assembly processes. Check for any recent product change notices or obsolescence announcements. Validate that the termination insensitive characteristics meet your impedance matching requirements.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select the CSM2-17 when a cost-effective solution with high linearity is required for PCS or WLL systems. Its termination insensitive nature simplifies circuit design by reducing sensitivity to load variations. Consider this component for downconverter stages where moderate conversion loss is acceptable. Evaluate its frequency range against your specific signal bandwidth needs. Compare its IP3 performance against other mixers in the same price category.
