Functional Diagram
General Description
the Hmc623LP4e is a highly integrated downconverter ic that operates from 1.8 to 2.7 GHz. the Hmc623LP4e incorporates a high dynamic range, single-balanced mixer core with integrated rF, Lo and iF amplifiers, making it ideal for compact transceiver applications in Gsm, wcDmA, tD-scDmA, wiBro and wimAx. this versatile converter rFic operates with a low Lo input power level of only 0 dBm, provides up to 33 dB conversion gain, and exhibits +39 dBm output iP3. the integrated rF amplifier provides for an overall noise figure of only 4 dB.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 °C, IF = 200 MHz, LO = 0 dBm, Vbias [1] = +5V [2]

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.
