AMMP-6120-BLK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AMMP-6120-BLK is an RF IC Frequency Multiplier manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for DBS and VSAT applications with a frequency range of 4GHz to 12GHz and output power of -11 to 5dBm. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system design and maintenance. The 8-SMD (5x5) surface mount package and specific frequency multiplication characteristics define the substitution criteria for this device.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMMP-6120-BLK is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Functional Classification: Frequency multiplication capability (doubler or multiplier)
• Frequency Operating Range: Must support RF signal processing within or overlapping the 4GHz to 12GHz band
• RF Application Type: Compatibility with DBS and VSAT system requirements
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount configuration for PCB integration
• Package Compatibility: Physical dimensions and pin configuration suitable for 8-SMD or equivalent form factors
• Regulatory Compliance: ECCN classification and export control alignment

The MAFC-004403-TR0500 from MACOM Technology Solutions qualifies as a substitute based on shared functional characteristics (frequency multiplication), surface mount technology, and regulatory classification under EAR99.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAFC-004403-TR0500 is available as an active product with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the AMMP-6120-BLK. Both components share EAR99 export control classification and surface mount technology. The substitute part offers improved moisture sensitivity characteristics (MSL 1 versus MSL 2A) and RoHS3 compliance, providing advantages for long-term reliability and regulatory adherence in new designs.

The frequency range difference (16GHz ~ 24GHz for the substitute versus 4GHz ~ 12GHz for the original) and package configuration change (16-PQFN versus 8-SMD) require circuit-level evaluation to confirm functional compatibility within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAFC-004403-TR0500 directly replace the AMMP-6120-BLK in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of frequency band compatibility and circuit integration. The substitute operates at higher frequency ranges (16GHz ~ 24GHz) and uses a different package configuration (16-PQFN versus 8-SMD), necessitating PCB layout and schematic review.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: The AMMP-6120-BLK has MSL 2A (4 weeks shelf life under controlled humidity), while the MAFC-004403-TR0500 has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life). Lower MSL ratings reduce moisture-related failures during storage and handling, improving component reliability.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same export controls?

A: Yes, both components are classified under ECCN EAR99, indicating alignment in export control requirements.

Q: What are the package footprint implications?

A: The AMMP-6120-BLK uses an 8-SMD (5x5) package, while the MAFC-004403-TR0500 uses a 16-PQFN (4x4) package. These are physically distinct, requiring PCB redesign for substitution.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: The MAFC-004403-TR0500 is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the AMMP-6120-BLK is not specified in the provided data.
