SA606DK,112

RF Mixers Overview

The SA606DK/01,118 is a low-voltage high-performance RF mixer IC manufactured by NXP USA Inc. Designed for up-conversion applications, it operates at frequencies up to 150MHz. The device integrates two mixers within a single package, offering a gain of 17dB and a noise figure of 6.2dB. It functions efficiently with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 7V and draws a typical supply current of 3.5mA. The component is housed in a 20-LSSOP surface-mount package, measuring 4.40mm in width. It supports cellular, ASK, FSK, and VHF radio types, making it suitable for compact wireless system designs.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix, as variations such as /01,118 or ,112 may exist. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as some listings indicate non-compliance while others specify RoHS3. Check the part status carefully, as this component is marked as obsolete in several distributor databases. Ensure the package type matches the design requirements, specifically the 20-SSOP form factor. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official NXP documentation to avoid substitution errors.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing low-power RF up-conversion stages requiring integrated dual mixing capabilities. It is appropriate for applications needing a 150MHz operational limit with minimal supply current consumption. Consider the 20-SSOP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 6.2dB noise figure against system sensitivity requirements. This IC is suitable for replacing older discrete mixer solutions in space-constrained mobile and VHF equipment designs.

RF Mixers Part Context

The SA606 series belongs to NXP's portfolio of RF/IF building blocks designed for FM IF systems and mixers. These components are engineered for use in mobile phones and other wireless communication devices. The SA606DK variant specifically focuses on up-conversion tasks, distinguishing itself from down-conversion counterparts like the SA604A. It represents a legacy solution in the company's historical product line for analog RF processing.
