Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC340ALP5(e) is a double balanced dual mixer covering 1.7 - 4.5 GHz rF/LO range. This passive MMiC mixer is constructed of GaAs schottky diodes and on-chip baluns. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, bi-phase (de)modulator, or phase comparator. The mixer symmetry of the HMC340ALP5(e) make it ideal for combining with external hybrids to implement a single sideband upconverter or image reject downconverter assembly. The consistent MMiC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance. A roHs compliant, leadless 5x5 mm QFN surface mount package (LP5) houses the dual MMiC mixer iC.

iF Port: This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose values has been chosen to pass the necessary iF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/sink more than 4mA of current or die non-function and possible die 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.
