General Description
B
SO
LE
The HMC951LP4E is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
downconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant
SMT package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 13 dB with a noise figure of 2 dB
and 25 dB of image rejection across the frequency
band. The HMC951LP4E utilizes an LNA followed by
an image reject mixer which is driven by an LO buffer
amplifier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need
for a filter following the LNA, and removes thermal
noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs
are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to
select the required sideband. The HMC951LP4E is a
much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject
mixer downconverter assemblies, and is compatible
with surface mount manufacturing techniques.

This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring
operations to DC this port should be DC blocked externally
using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to
pass the necessary frequency range. For operation to DC,
this pin must not sink / source more than 3 mA of current or
part non-function and possible failure will result.

The circuit board used in the 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.
