General Description

SO
LE
The HMC380QS16G & HMC380QS16GE are high
linearity down-converter receiver ICs suitable for
PCS/UMTS infrastructure applications from 1.7 - 2.2
GHz. The receiver IC is designed to support UMTS
applications where a high third order intercept
point is required. A passive mixer coupled with a
high dynamic range IF amplifier achieves an input
IP3 of +19 dBm. The converter provides a gain of
11.5 dB and 9 dB typical single side band noise
figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail
consuming 165 mA of current while only requiring a
-5 dBm LO drive. The design requires no external
baluns. The mixer supports IF frequencies between
50 MHz and 300 MHz.
Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, LO = -5 dBm, Vdd = 5V, IF = 250 MHz [1]

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.
