The SA602A is a low-power VHF monolithic double-balanced mixer with input amplifier, on-board oscillator, and voltageregulator. It is intended for high-performance, low-power communication systems. The guaranteed parameters of the SA602A make this device well-suited for cellular radio applications. The mixer isa ‘Gilbert cell’ multiplier configuration which typically provides 18 dB ofgain at 45 MHz. The oscillator operates to 200 MHz. It can be configured as a crystal oscillator, a tuned tankoscillator, or a buffer for an external LO. For higher frequencies, the LOinput may be externally driven. The noise figure at 45 MHz is typically less than 5 dB.The gain, intercept performance, low-power and noise characteristics make the SA602A a superior choice for high-performance battery operated equipment. It is available inan 8-lead SO (surface-mount miniature package).
