HMC329LC3B

HMC329LC3B v03.1208 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 24 - 32 GHz Typical Applications The HMC329LC3B is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios • Point-to-Mulit-Point Radios & VSAT • Test Equipment & Sensors Features Passive: No DC Bias Required Input IP3: +18 dBm LO/RF Isolation: 38 dB Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz Robust 500V ESD, Class 1B 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9mm2 9 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT • Military End-Use Functional Diagram General Description The HMC329LC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 24 and 32 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC329LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels above +9 dBm. The HMC329LC3B 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 or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 8 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 10, 11, 12 N/C No connection required. These pins may be connected to RF/DC ground without affecting performance. 9 - 172 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 HMC329LC3B v03.1208 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 24 - 32 GHz Evaluation PCB 9 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT 9 - 173 List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 109952 [1] Item J1 - J2 J3 U1 PCB [2] Description SRI SMA Connector Johnson SMA Connector HMC329LC3B Mixer 117611 Evaluation PCB [1] Reference this number when ordering compete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Arlon 25FR The circuit board used in this 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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
