General Description
The HMC665LP4e is a highly integrated converter iC that operates from 0.7 to 1.2 GHz for both up-conversion and downconversion applications. The HMC665LP4e incorporates a high dynamic range, passive doublebalanced 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 11 dB conversion gain in upconverter mode. specific evaluation boards are available for both upconverter and downconverter modes.

rF
This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
7
iFiN
This pin is matched to 50 Ohms with a 56nH inductor to ground. see Application Circuit.
9
CAP
AC ground. An external capacitor of 0.01 µF to ground is required for low frequency bypassing. see application circuit for further details.
10
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.

iFOUT
13
VddiF
Power supply for iF amplifier. Choke inductor and bypass capacitor are required. see application circuit.
16
MixLO
This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required.
17
GND
Backside of package has exposed metal ground paddle that must also be connected to ground.
18
VccLO
Power supply and rF Output of the LO amplifier. Three external bypass capacitors are recommended for optimum performance, as illustrated in the application circuit.
