HMC156

v03.1203 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC156 GaAs MMIC PASSIVE FREQUENCY DOUBLER, 0.7 - 2.4 GHz INPUT Features Conversion Loss: 15 dB Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 38 dB Input Drive Level: 10 to 20 dBm Typical Applications The HMC156 is suitable for: • Wireless Local Loop • LMDS, VSAT, and Pt to Pt Radios • UNII & HiperLAN • Test Equipment 4 FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - CHIP Functional Diagram General Description The HMC156 is a miniature frequency doubler in a MMIC die. Suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order harmonics is 38 dB typical with respect to input signal levels. The doubler uses the same diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC mixers, features small size and requires no DC bias.

Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against > ± 250V ESD strikes. Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers. 4 FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - CHIP 4-5 Mounting The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean and flat. Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule. Wire Bonding Ball or wedge bond with 1.0 diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package. RF bonds should be as short as possible.
