M8TH

RF Mixers Overview

The M8TH is a low-frequency RF mixer integrated circuit manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. Designed as a down-conversion converter, it operates within a frequency range of 1MHz to 3.4GHz. The component features a noise coefficient of 8.5dB and is housed in a TO-8 form factor with four leads. It is classified as a general-purpose RF mixer containing one mixer element. The device is currently active and supports standard industrial environmental conditions.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Provides down-conversion functionality for radio frequency signals
• Operates across a broad low-frequency spectrum up to 3.4GHz
• Utilizes a robust metal TO-8 package for reliable performance

RF Mixers Applications

• General purpose RF mixing circuits
• Down-conversion stages in communication systems
• Low frequency signal processing applications

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status prior to integration, as the M8TH is noted as non-compliant with current RoHS specifications. Confirm that the TO-8 package aligns with existing board layout constraints. Ensure that the 8.5dB noise figure meets system sensitivity requirements. Check for any recent PCN updates regarding assembly or test site changes that may affect supply chain stability or manufacturing consistency.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a general-purpose mixer is required for frequencies between 1MHz and 3.4GHz. Consider the TO-8 package size for mechanical fitment. Evaluate the 8.5dB noise coefficient against system noise budget requirements. Verify compatibility with downstream IF stages. This part is suitable for applications where low-frequency down-conversion is critical and standard packaging is acceptable.
