GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC557A is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer in
a 24-terminal, ceramic leadless chip carrier, RoHS-compliant
package. The device can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from 2.5 GHz to 7.0 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in
a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process and requires no external components
or matching circuitry.
Rev. F
The HMC557A provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to radio
frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) isolation
due to optimized balun structures. The RoHS-compliant
HMC557A eliminates the need for wire bonding and is compatible
with high volume surface-mount manufacturing techniques.

Description
No Internal Connection. No connection is required on these pins. These pins are not internally
connected. However, all data is measured with these pins connected to RF/dc ground externally.
Ground Connect. Connect these pins and the package bottom to RF/dc ground.
Local Oscillator Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω.
Intermediate Frequency Port. This pin is dc-coupled. For applications not requiring operation to dc,
block this pin externally using a series capacitor with a value chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency
range. For operation to dc, this pin must not source or sink more than 2 mA of current or device
nonfunctionality or device failure may result.
Radio Frequency Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω.
Exposed Pad. Connect the exposed pad to a low impedance thermal and electrical ground plane.

Description
Johnson SMA connector
HMC557ALC4 mixer
118703 evaluation PCB3
Reference this number when ordering the complete evaluation PCB.
The circuit board material is Rogers 4350.
3
This is the bare PCB of the evaluation PCB kit (see Figure 83).
1
It is recommended that the application circuit board use RF circuit
design techniques. Use signal lines with a 50 Ω impedance, and
connect the package ground leads and exposed pad directly to
the ground plane. Use a sufficient number of via holes to connect
the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board
shown in Figure 83 is available from Analog Devices, Inc., upon
request.
