HMC663LC3

HMC663LC3 v03.0709 GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED HIGH IP3 MIxEr, 6 - 12 GHz Features High LO/rF isolation: 40 dB Wide iF Bandwidth: DC - 4 GHz Passive Double-Balanced Topology Low Conversion Loss: 8 dB 16 Lead Ceramic 3x3mm sMT Package: 9mm² Typical Applications The HMC663LC3 is ideal for: • Point-to-Point radios • Point-to-Multi-Point radios • Test equipment & sensors • Military end-Use 10 Mixers - siNGLe & DOUBLe BALANCeD - sMT Functional Diagram General Description The HMC663LC3 is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless roHs compliant ceramic sMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 6 and 12 GHz. This passive mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MesFeT process, requires no DC Bias and no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC663LC3 provides excellent LO to rF and LO to iF isolation due to optimized balun structures and operates with LO drive levels as low as +17 dBm. The HMC663LC3 eliminates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.

These pins and package base must be connected to rF/DC ground. This pad 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 or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result.
