HMC553LC3B

HMC553LC3B v00.1205 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 7 - 14 GHz Typical Applications The HMC553LC3B is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios Features Passive Double Balanced Topology High LO/RF Isolation: 50 dB Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 5 GHz RoHS Compliant 3x3 mm SMT Package 7 MIXERS - SMT • Point-to-Mulit-Point Radios • Test Equipment & Sensors • Military End-Use Functional Diagram General Description The HMC553LC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 7 and 14 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC553LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures and operates with LO drive levels as low as +9 dBm. The RoHS compliant HMC553LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume 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 Ohm from 7 to 14 GHz. 10, 11, 12 N/C No connection required. These pins may be connected to RF/DC ground without affecting performance. 7 - 410 For 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 HMC553LC3B v00.1205 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 7 - 14 GHz Evaluation PCB 7 MIXERS - SMT List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 109952 [1] Item J1 - J2 J3 U1 PCB [2] Description SRI SMA Connector Johnson SMA Connector HMC553LC3B Mixer 108777 Evaluation PCB [1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350 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 circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
