General Description
TE
Typical Applications
LE
The HMC815LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 12 dB and sideband rejection of
-20 dBc. The HMC815LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier
preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by
an active x2 multiplier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are
provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to
select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology
reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted
sideband. The HMC815LC5 is a much smaller
alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter
assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire
bonding by allowing the use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.

Vdd1
Power supply voltage for x2 multiplier. See application
circuit for required external components.

LOIN
This pin is AC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.
10, 13, 15,
30, 32
GND
These pins and package bottom must be
connected to RF/DC ground.
12
Vgg
Gate control for RF amplifier, please follow “MMIC Amplifier
Biasing Procedure” application note. See application circuit
for required external components.
14
RFOUT
This pin is AC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.
LE
Vdd3,
Vdd2
Power supply voltage for RF amplifier. See application
circuit for required external components.

IF1
31
IF2
Differential IF input pins. For applications not requiring
operation to DC, an off chip DC blocking capacitor should
be used. For operation to DC this pin must not source/sink
more than 3mA of current or part non function and possible
part failure will result.

120410 Evaluation Board
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.
