The MRFIC2401 is a GaAs low–noise amplifier and downmixer in a low–cost 16 lead plastic package designed for use in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz Industrial– Scientific–Medical (ISM) band. The design is optimized for efficiency at 5.0 Volt operation at 2.45 GHz but is usable from 2.0 to 3.0 GHz in applications such as telemetry and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS) wireless cable TV systems. Performance is suitable for frequency hopping or direct sequence spread spectrum as well as single–frequency applications. LNA output and mixer input are available to allow image filtering.

• Single Supply Voltage = 5.0 Volts

• High Conversion Gain = 21 dB Typical Less Image Filter

• Low Supply Current = 9.5 mA Typical

• Low–Cost, Low Profile Plastic SOIC Package

• Available in Tape and Reel by Adding R2 Suffix to Part Number. R2 Suffix = 2,500 Units per 16 mm, 13 inch Reel.

• Device Marking = M2401
