General Description
The HMC622LP4E is a highly integrated converter IC that operates from 1.8 to 3.9 GHz for both upconversion and downconversion applications. The HMC622LP4E incorporates a high dynamic range, double-balanced mixer core with integrated LO and IF amplifiers, making it ideal for compact transceiver applications in GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, WiBro and WiMAX. This versatile converter RFIC operates with a low LO input power level of only +3 dBm, provides up to 10 dB conversion gain, and exhibits +23 dBm Input IP3 in downconversion mode. This RFIC provides up to 12 dB conversion gain in upconverter mode. Specific evaluation boards are available for both upconversion and downconversion modes.

MIXIF
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 part non-function and possible part failure will result. This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
