General description
The HMC773LC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless roHs compliant sMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 6 and 26 GHz. This mixer requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC773LC3B provides excellent LO to rF and LO to iF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels above +13 dBm. The HMC773LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 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 or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. These pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown herein was measured with these pins connected to rF/DC ground externally.

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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
