HMC798LC4

HMC798LC4 v00.0709 GaAs MMIC SUB-HARMONIC SMT MIXER, 24 - 34 GHz Typical Applications The HMC798LC4 is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios Features Integrated LO Amplifier: +4 dBm Input Sub-Harmonically Pumped (x2) LO Wideband IF: DC - 3 GHz Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 95mA 24 Lead Ceramic 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 8 MIXERS - SUB-HARMONIC - SMT • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT • Test Equipment & Sensors • Military End-Use • SAT COM Functional Diagram General Description The HMC798LC4 is a 24 - 34 GHz Sub-harmonically Pumped (x2) MMIC Mixer with an integrated LO amplifier in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. The 2LO to RF isolation is excellent at 30 dB, eliminating the need for additional filtering. The LO amplifier is a single bias +5V design with a nominal +4 dBm drive requirement. The RF and LO ports are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use while the IF covers DC to 3 GHz. The HMC798LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc = 5V Parameter Min.

No connection required. The pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown herein was measured with these pins connected to RF/DC ground externally. This pin is DC coupled and should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. Any applied DC voltage to this pin will result in die non-function and possible die failure.
