SA612AN/01,112

RF Mixers Overview

The SA612AN/01,112 is a low-power VHF monolithic double-balanced mixer with an integrated oscillator and voltage regulator. It operates within the Cellular, HF, and VHF frequency ranges up to 500 MHz. Key electrical parameters include a noise figure of 5 dB, gain of 17 dB, and operating supply current of 2.4 mA at 6 V. The device supports a supply voltage range from 4.5 V to 8 V. It is housed in an 8-DIP plastic dual in-line package.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Integrates a double-balanced mixer with an on-board oscillator and voltage regulator for simplified circuit design.
• Designed for low-cost, low-power applications in cellular, HF, and VHF frequency bands.
• Functions as an up-converter in receiver architectures.

RF Mixers Applications

• Cellular communication systems
• High Frequency (HF) transceivers
• Very High Frequency (VHF) receivers

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

This component is listed as End-of-Life (EOL). NXP Semiconductors has announced that production will cease, and the part is scheduled for obsolescence. Distributors may not stock this item, and availability is likely limited to existing inventory or secondary markets. Engineers should verify current stock status carefully before finalizing designs requiring this specific legacy part number.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component only if the design specifically requires the integrated oscillator and regulator features of the SA612A series. Verify compatibility with the required VHF/HF frequency bands and power constraints. Due to its EOL status, alternative solutions with similar performance characteristics and active manufacturing support should be evaluated to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

RF Mixers Part Context

The SA612AN/01,112 belongs to the SA612A family of RF mixers manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. This family includes variants such as the SA612AD/01,112, which utilizes an SOIC-8 surface-mount package instead of the DIP-8 package found in the AN version. These devices are categorized under Wireless & RF Integrated Circuits.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Given the End-of-Life status, engineers must identify functional equivalents through independent cross-reference tools or consult NXP directly for recommended replacements.
