GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED

LO AMPLIFIER, 1.6 - 3.0 GHz

v03.1210

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC552LP4 & HMC552LP4e are high linearity,

double-balanced converter iCs that operate from

1.6 to 3.0 GHz and deliver a +25 dBm input third

order intercept point. The LO amplifier output and

high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so

that an external LO filter can be placed in series

be-tween them. The converter provides 30 dB of

LO to rF isolation and is ideal for upconverter and

down-converter applications. The iC operates from

a single +5V supply consuming 62 mA of current

and accepts a LO drive level of -4 to +4 dBm. The

design requires no external baluns and supports

iF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz. The

HMC552LP4 & HMC552LP4e are pin for pin com-

patible with the HMC551LP4 & HMC551LP4e, which

operate from 0.8 to 1.2 GHz.
