HMC915LP4E

HMC915LP4E v00.1009 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 0.5 - 2.7 GHz Features Input IP3: +28 dBm Low Input LO Drive: -2 to +4 dBm High LO to RF Isolation: 28 dB Low Conversion Loss: 8 dB Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 88 mA 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 Typical Applications The HMC915LP4E is ideal for: • PCS / 3G Infrastructure • Base Stations & Repeaters • WiMAX & WiBro 9 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT • ISM & Fixed Wireless Functional Diagram General Description The HMC915LP4E is a high linearity, double-balanced converter that operates from 0.5 to 2.7 GHz and delivers a +28 dBm input IP3. The LO amplifier output and high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so that an external LO filter can be placed in series between them if necessary. The converter provides 28 dB of LO to RF isolation and is ideal for upconverter and downconverter applications. The IC operates from a single +5V supply consuming 88 mA and accepts LO drive levels of -2 to +4 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and supports IF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz. The HMC915LP4E is pin for pin compatible with the HMC552LP4E and the HMC215LP4E mixers with integrated LO amplifiers.

Three external bypass capacitors are recommended for optimum performance, as illustrated in the application circuit. 4 GND Backside of package has exposed metal ground paddle that must also be connected to ground. 5 LO This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required. 10 IF 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 die non-function and possible die failure will result. 18 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
