HMC615LP4E

HMC615LP4 / 615LP4E v01.0407 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 2.3 - 4.0 GHz Typical Applications The HMC615LP4E is ideal for: • PCS / 3G Infrastructure • Base Stations & Repeaters • WiMAX & WiBro Features High Input IP3: +35 dBm Low Input LO Drive: -2 to +6 dBm Low Conversion Loss: 10 dB Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 65 mA RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm QFN Package 9 MIXERS - HIGH IP3 - SMT • ISM & Fixed Wireless Functional Diagram General Description The HMC615LP4(E) are high linearity, GaAs FET converter ICs that operate from 2.3 to 4.0 GHz and deliver a +35 dBm input third order intercept point. The LO amplifier output and high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so that an external LO filter can be placed in series between them. The IC operates from a single +5V supply consuming 65 mA of current and accepts a LO drive level of -2 to +6 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and supports IF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz. The HMC615LP4(E) is pin for pin compatible with the HMC551LP4(E), HMC552LP4(E) and HMC215LP4(E), which operate from 0.8 to 4.0 GHz.

An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required. 2, 6 - 9, 11 - 17, 19 - 24 N/C No connection. These pins may be connected to RF ground. Performance will not be affected. 9 MIXERS - HIGH IP3 - SMT 9 - 369 3 BIAS Power supply for the LO amplifier. Three external bypass capacitors are recommended for optimum performance, as illustrated in the application circuit. 4 GND Backside of package has exposed metal ground paddle that must also be connected to ground. 5 LO This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required. 10 IF This pin is DC coupled. 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/sink more than 18 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 18 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
