General Description
Functional Diagram
LE
The HMC334LP4(E) is a low noise, wideband
downconverter RFIC which is ideal for Cellular/3G
and WiMAX/4G applications from 0.6 to 2.7 GHz.
The LO input accepts drive levels from -6 to +6 dBm
while the RFIC provides 48 dB of LO to RF isolation,
and 0 dB conversion loss. The HMC334LP4(E) will
support an IF output bandwidth of up to 600 MHz
and consumes only 173 mA from a +5V supply.
This wideband active mixer also provides excellent
performance in the presence of high level “Blocker”
signals, making it ideal for receiver applications in
demanding environments.

The circuit board used in the final application
should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the
package ground leads and exposed paddle should
be connected directly to the ground plane similar
to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes
should be used to connect the top and bottom
ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown
is available from Hittite upon request.
