MY85C

RF Mixers Overview

The MY85C is a double-balanced mixer manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 2000 MHz to 18000 MHz. The device features a maximum conversion loss of 11 dB. It utilizes an SMA connector interface for signal transmission and reception. The component is designed for robust performance in demanding environments, supporting a wide operating temperature range from -54°C to +85°C.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double-balanced architecture provides high isolation and reduced spurious responses
• Connectorized design with SMA interface for direct integration into RF systems
• Wideband operation covering frequencies up to 18 GHz

RF Mixers Applications

• Military communication systems
• Commercial RF equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with system impedance and connector types. Cross-reference part numbers with official MACOM catalogs to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm environmental ratings match application requirements before procurement.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-balanced mixer is required for frequencies between 2 GHz and 18 GHz. Consider the 11 dB maximum conversion loss and SMA packaging for system integration. Evaluate thermal management needs given the -54°C to +85°C operating range. Compare against single-balanced alternatives if higher linearity or lower noise figure is not critical.

RF Mixers Part Context

The MY85C is the connectorized variant of the MY85 series. It belongs to MACOM's portfolio of microwave mixers designed for reliability. This model supports applications requiring stable mixing performance across a broad bandwidth. It complements other RF components in transceiver chains and signal processing modules.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Consult official MACOM documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Generic replacements may differ in conversion loss, isolation, or connector type. Verify pinout and mechanical footprint compatibility before substitution.
