The HMC925LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 16.5 dB with 30 dBc of sideband
rejection. The HMC925LC5 utilizes a RF amplifier
preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven
by a driver amplifier. 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 HMC925LC5 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.

125487 Evaluation Board
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.
