1. Overview

️· The MMD-3580L is a GaAs diode doubler (frequency multiplier). It's designed to double an input frequency and produce a corresponding output frequency.

2. Specifications - Key Highlights

️· Frequency Range:
- Input (Port 1): 17.5 - 40 GHz
- Output (Port 2): 35 - 80 GHz
️· Input Power: +7 to +11 dBm
️· Conversion Loss (CL): Varies depending on frequency range (approximately 11-15dB typical)
️· Suppression (Harmonic):
- 3F: Around 44 dBc
- 4F: Around 21 dBc
️· Isolation:
- 1F: around 47.7 dB
- 3F: around 54.4 dB
- 4F: around 31 dB
️· Package Options: CH (die) and U-KW (connectorized)

3. Absolute Maximum Ratings

️· Input/Output DC Current: Not Applicable (NA)
️· Power Handling: +23 dBm
️· Operating Temperature: -55°C to +100°C
️· Storage Temperature: -65°C to +125°C
️· ESD Sensitivity: 1A (Human Body Model)

4. Handling and Mounting Recommendations

️· Die Mounting (CH Package): Requires conductive epoxy. Ground plane needs to have low electrical impedance.
️· Wire Bonding: 0.025 mm (1 mil) gold wire; thermosonic bonding recommended.
️· ESD Precautions: GaAs MMICs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
️· Storage: Store in a dry nitrogen atmosphere after opening the ESD bag.
️· Circuit Considerations: Use 50-ohm transmission lines and keep wirebonds short.

5. Package Information

️· CH Package: 0.004" thick GaAs substrate, with specified gold finishes on I/O traces and ground plane.
️· U-KW Package: Weight is approximately 10g.
