Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC663LC3 is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant ceramic
SMT package that can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter between 6 and 12 GHz. This passive
mixer is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process,
requires no DC Bias and no external components or
matching circuitry.
The HMC663LC3 provides excellent LO to RF and LO
to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures and
operates with LO drive levels as low as +17 dBm. The
HMC663LC3 eliminates the need for wire bonding,
and is compatible with high volume surface mount
manufacturing techniques.

IF
This pad 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 or sink more than 2 mA of current or
part non-function and possible part failure will result.

The circuit board used in this application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 Ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
