HMC787LC3B

HMC787LC3B v00.0110 GaAs MMIC FundAMentAl MIxer, 3 - 10 GHz Features Passive Double-Balanced Topology High LO/rF isolation: 55 dB Low Conversion Loss: 9 dB Wide iF Bandwidth: DC - 4 GHz No external Matching required 12 Lead 3x3 mm sMT Package: 9 mm2 typical Applications The HMC787LC3B is ideal for: • WiMAx infrastructure • Microwave radio • isM & UWB radios 9 Mixers - siNGLe & DOUBLe BALANCeD - sMT • Test equipment & sensors • Military end-Use Functional diagram General description The HMC787LC3B is a general purpose double balanced mixer in a leadless roHs compliant sMT package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 3 and 10 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MesFeT process, and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC787LC3B provides excellent LO to rF and LO to iF isolation due to optimized balun structures and operates with LO drive level of +17 dBm. The ceramic sMT package eliminates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques. electrical Specifications, tA = +25° C, IF= 100 MHz, lO= +17 dBm* Parameter Frequency range, rF & LO Frequency range, iF Conversion Loss Noise Figure (ssB) LO to rF isolation LO to iF isolation rF to iF isolation iP3 (input) iP2 (input) 1 dB Gain Compression (input) *Unless otherwise noted, all measurements performed as downconverter, IF= 100 MHz. 35 13 Min.

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 8 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 8 rF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 10, 11, 12 N/C The pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown herein was measured with these pins connected to rF/DC ground externally. 9-7 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC787LC3B v00.0110 GaAs MMIC FundAMentAl MIxer, 3 - 10 GHz evaluation PCB 9 Mixers - siNGLe & DOUBLe BALANCeD - sMT 9-8 list of Materials for evaluation PCB 109952 [1] item J1 - J2 J3 U1 PCB [2] Description sri sMA Connector Johnson sMA Connector HMC787LC3B Mixer 117611 evaluation PCB [1] reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Arlon 25 rF 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.
