Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC381LP6 & HMC381LP6E are high linearity Dual Down Converter Receiver ICs that operate from 1.7 - 2.7 GHz and deliver a +27 dBm input third order intercept point for UMTS, PHS and WiMAX applications. The passive mixer outputs and high dynamic range IF amplifier inputs are positioned so that an external IF filter can be placed in series between them. The converter provides a gain of 9 dB and 12 dB typical single side band noise figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail consuming 260 mA of current while requiring a LO drive level of only -4 to +4 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and supports IF frequencies between 50 and 300 MHz.

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. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
