General Description
The HMC786LP4e is a high dynamic range passive MMiC mixer with integrated LO amplifier in a 4x4 sMT QFN package covering 0.7 to 1.1 GHz. excellent input iP3 performance of +40 dBm for down conversion is provided for 3G & 4G GsM/CDMA applications at an LO drive of 0 dBm. With an input 1 dB compression of +25 dBm, the rF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 7.5 dB typical. Up to 250 MHz iF frequency response will satisfy GsM/CDMA transmit or receive frequency plans. The HMC786LP4e is optimized for high side LO frequency plans for 0.7 - 1.1 GHz rF Band and is pin for pin compatible with the HMC686LP4e

G_BiAs
external bias with a nominal value of 2.5V. see application circuit for recommended external components. G_Bias can be set to between 0 and 5Vdc. This adjustment allows for a trade off between conversion loss and linearity performance of the converter (see figures CG, iP3 vs. G_BiAs). The G_bias pin has an internal 15 KOhms resistance to ground and 15 KOhms to Vcc. internal resistive divider sets 2.5 V for G_bias and can be changed externally.

The circuit board used in the final 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 circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
