FD26C

Overview

The FD26C is a general-purpose RF IC frequency doubler manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 100MHz to 6.6GHz. The component is housed in a module package featuring SMA connectors. It is designed for applications requiring frequency multiplication across a broad microwave spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Performs frequency doubling functions for RF signals
• Supports wideband operation from 100MHz to 6.6GHz
• Integrated SMA connector interface for direct system integration

Applications

• General purpose RF signal processing
• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' against the official MACOM datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical specifications match your design requirements. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with your PCB layout. Confirm active status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as supply chain conditions may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband frequency doubler covering up to 6.6GHz is required. The integrated SMA connectors simplify mechanical design compared to bare die or surface-mount options. Verify input power levels and harmonic rejection requirements against the datasheet limits before finalizing the design.

Part Context

The FD26C belongs to the FD26 family of frequency multipliers from MACOM. This series provides solutions for generating higher frequencies from lower input signals. The 'C' variant typically denotes specific packaging or performance characteristics within the broader product line, distinguished by its SMA connectorized module form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official MACOM datasheet for cross-reference information. Potential substitutes may include other models within the FD26 series, such as FD26 or FD26E, depending on specific frequency and connector requirements. Verify functional equivalence before substitution.
