Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC340LP5 & HMC340LP5E are doublebalanced dual mixers covering 1.7 - 4.5 GHz RF/LO range. This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and on-chip baluns. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, biphase (de)modulator, or phase comparator. The mixer symmetry of the HMC340LP5 & HMC340LP5E make it an ideal candidate for single sideband or image rejection applications. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance. A low cost, leadless 5x5 mm QFN surface mount package (LP5) houses the dual MMIC mixer IC.

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.
