WiMAX and fixed wireless Point to point radios Point to multipoint radios Test equipment and sensors Military end use GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC557A is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer in a 24-terminal, ceramic leadless chip carrier, RoHS-compliant package. The device can be used as an upconverter or downconverter from 2.5 GHz to 7.0 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry. Rev. B The HMC557A provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) isolation due to optimized balun structures. The RoHS-compliant HMC557A eliminates the need for wire bonding and is compatible with high volume surface-mount manufacturing techniques.

List of Materials for Evaluation PCB EV1HMC557ALC41 Item J1, J2, J3 U1 PCB2 Description Johnson SMA connector HMC557ALC4 mixer 118703 evaluation PCB3 Reference this number when ordering the complete evaluation PCB. The circuit board material is Rogers 4350. 3 This is the bare PCB of the evaluation PCB kit (see Figure 83). 1 It is recommended that the application circuit board use RF circuit design techniques. Use signal lines with a 50 Ω impedance, and connect the package ground leads and exposed pad directly to the ground plane. Use a sufficient number of via holes to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown in Figure 83 is available from Analog Devices, Inc., upon request. 2 Rev.
