Typical Applications
Features
The HMC215LP4 / HMC215LP4E is ideal for
Wireless Infrastructure Applications:
Input IP3: +25 dBm
• PCS / 3G Infrastructure
High LO to RF Isolation: 32 dB
• Base Stations & Repeaters
Low Conversion Loss: 8 dB

General Description

Low Input LO Drive: +2 to +6 dBm
B
SO
LE
The HMC215LP4 & HMC215LP4E are high linearity,
double-balanced converter ICs that operate from
1.7 to 4.0 GHz and deliver a +25 dBm input third
order intercept point. The LO amplifier output and
high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so
that an external LO filter can be placed in series
be-tween them. The converter provides 32 dB of LO
to RF isolation and is ideal for upconverter and downconverter applications. The IC operates from a single
+5V supply consuming 56 mA of current and accepts
a LO drive level of 2 to 6 dBm. The design requires no
external baluns and supports IF frequencies between
DC and 1 GHz. The HMC215LP4(E) is pin for pin
compatible with the HMC552LP4(E), which operates
from 1.6 to 3.0 GHz.

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
