HMC381LP6 / 381LP6E v04.1007 MIXERS - DOWNCONVERTERS - SMT 8 HIGH IP3 RFIC DUAL DOWNCONVERTER, 1.7 - 2.7 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC381LP6 / HMC381LP6E is ideal for Wireless Infrastructure Applications: Input IP3: +27 dBm • GSM, GPRS & EDGE Conversion Gain: 9 dB • CDMA & W-CDMA Noise Figure: 12 dB • PHS & PDC Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 260 mA Low Single Input LO Drive: 0 dBm • WiMAX Functional Diagram General Description The HMC381LP6 & HMC381LP6E are high linearity Dual Down Converter Receiver ICs that operate from 1.7 - 2.7 GHz and deliver a +27 dBm input third order intercept point for UMTS, PHS and WiMAX applications. The passive mixer outputs and high dynamic range IF amplifier inputs are positioned so that an external IF filter can be placed in series between them. The converter provides a gain of 9 dB and 12 dB typical single side band noise figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail consuming 260 mA of current while requiring a LO drive level of only -4 to +4 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and supports IF frequencies between 50 and 300 MHz. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, LO = 0 dBm, Vdd = 5V Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Min. Typ. Max. Min.
