A mixer (20) has a differential transistor pair (22, 24) receiving first and second reference currents at first and second nodes (30, 34). An RF signal drives the differential transistor pair. A first switching circuit (44, 46) is coupled to the first node and a second switching circuit (52, 54) is coupled to the second node. An LO signal drives the first and second switching circuits. The first and second switching circuit each have first and second outputs that are cross-coupled at output nodes (48, 50) to provide a differential IF output current representative of the sum and difference between the frequency of the RF signal and the frequency of the LO signal.
