HMC129LC4_09

HMC129LC4 v02.1208 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 4 - 8 GHz Typical Applications The HMC129LC4 is ideal for: • Microwave & VSAT Radios • Test Equipment • Military EW, ECM, C I 3 Features Conversion Loss: 7 dB LO to RF and IF Isolation: 40 dB Input IP3: +17 dBm RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package 9 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC129LC4 is a general purpose double-balanced MMIC mixer housed in a leadless “PB Free” RoHS-Compliant SMT package which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 to 8 GHz band. The HMC129LC4 is ideally suited for applications where small size, no DC bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of +9 to +15 dBm. It performs equally well as a Bi-Phase modulator or demodulator. The HMC129LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/ sink more than 2 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 16 LO This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 9 - 14 F or price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC129LC4 v02.1208 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 4 - 8 GHz Evaluation PCB 9 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT 9 - 15 List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 109728 [1] Item J1 - J3 U1 PCB [2] Description PCB Mount SMA Connector HMC129LC4 109726 Evaluation Board [1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350 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.
