SA602AD/01,112

RF Mixers Overview

The SA602AD/01,112 is a low-power VHF monolithic double-balanced mixer IC from NXP USA Inc. It integrates an input amplifier, on-board oscillator, and voltage regulator within an 8-SOIC package. Designed for cellular, HF, UHF, and VHF applications, it functions as an up-converter with a maximum frequency of 500MHz. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 17dB, a noise figure of 5dB, and a supply current of 2.4mA. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 8V.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Integrates a double-balanced mixer with an input amplifier and on-board oscillator
• Includes an internal voltage regulator for simplified circuit design
• Optimized for low-power operation in VHF radio frequency applications

RF Mixers Applications

• Cellular communication systems
• High Frequency (HF) transceivers
• Ultra High Frequency (UHF) receivers
• Very High Frequency (VHF) up-converters

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and revision level against the official NXP datasheet to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the 8-SOIC package dimensions match your PCB footprint constraints. Check for end-of-life status or recommended alternative part numbers if long-term availability is critical for your production timeline.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution combining mixing, amplification, and oscillation is required for VHF bands. Consider the 2.4mA supply current for battery-powered devices. Ensure the 4.5V to 8V operating range aligns with your system power architecture. Evaluate the 17dB gain and 5dB noise figure against your signal chain sensitivity requirements.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to NXP's RF building block portfolio, specifically designed for frequency conversion tasks. It serves as a complete functional unit for up-conversion, reducing the external component count compared to discrete mixer solutions. The integration of the oscillator and regulator distinguishes it from basic mixer-only ICs.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Consult NXP documentation for direct pin-compatible alternatives or updated series replacements. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 8-SOIC package and electrical characteristics for seamless integration.
