GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8344 is a high-performance, broadband active mixer. It
is well suited for demanding receive-channel applications that
require wide bandwidth on all ports and very low inter-
modulation distortion and noise figure.
The AD8344 provides a typical conversion gain of 3dB at
900MHz. The integrated LO driver supports a 50-Ω input
impedance with a low LO drive level, helping to minimize
external component count.
The single-ended 50-Ohm broadband RF port allows for easy
interfacing to both active devices and passive filters. The RF
input accepts input signals as large as 1.8Vpp or 9dBm (re: 50 Ω)
at P1dB.

The open-collector differential outputs provide excellent
balance, and can be used with a differential filter or IF amplifier
such as the AD8369 or AD8351. These outputs may also be
converted to a single-ended signal through the use of a
matching network or a transformer (balun). When centered on
the VPOS supply voltage, the outputs may swing +/-2Vdiff.
The AD8344 is fabricated on Analog Devices proprietary, high
performance SiGe IC process. The AD8344 is available in a 16
lead CSP package. It operates over a –40°C to +85°C
temperature range. An evaluation board is available.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the AD8344 features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
