Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC380QS16G & HMC380QS16GE are high linearity down-converter receiver ICs suitable for PCS/UMTS infrastructure applications from 1.7 - 2.2 GHz. The receiver IC is designed to support UMTS applications where a high third order intercept point is required. A passive mixer coupled with a high dynamic range IF amplifier achieves an input IP3 of +19 dBm. The converter provides a gain of 11.5 dB and 9 dB typical single side band noise figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail consuming 165 mA of current while only requiring a -5 dBm LO drive. The design requires no external baluns. The mixer supports IF frequencies between 50 MHz and 300 MHz.

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.
