GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED

LO AMPLIFIER, 2.3 - 4.0 GHz

v02.1210

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC615LP4(e) are high linearity, GaAs FeT

converter iCs that operate from 2.3 to 4.0 GHz and

deliver a +35 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 between them. The iC

operates from a single +5V supply consuming 65

mA of current and accepts a LO drive level of -2 to

+6 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and

supports iF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz.

The HMC615LP4(e) is pin for pin compatible with the

HMC551LP4(e), HMC552LP4(e) and HMC215LP4(e),

which operate from 0.8 to 4.0 GHz. For availability

on Non-roHs HMC615LP4 products please contact

Hittite Microwave sales directly.

High input iP3: +35 dBm
