HMC815LC5 v01.0110 mixers - i/q mixers, IRMs & Receivers - SMT 9 GaAs MMIC I/Q UPCONVERTER 21 - 27 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC815LC5 is ideal for: High Conversion Gain: 12 dB • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Sideband Rejection: -20 dBc • Military Radar, EW & ELINT 2 LO to RF Isolation: 10 dB • Satellite Communications Output IP3: +27 dBm • Sensors 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Ceramic Package: 25mm² Functional Diagram General Description The HMC815LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 12 dB and sideband rejection of -20 dBc. The HMC815LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven by an active x2 multiplier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC815LC5 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25°C, IF = 2500 MHz, LO = +4 dBm, Vdd1, 2, 3 = +4.5V, Idd2 + Idd3 = 270 mA [1][3] Parameter Min. Typ. Max.

The pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown herein was measured with these pins connected to RF/DC ground externally. 6 Vdd1 Power supply voltage for x2 multiplier. See application circuit for required external components. 9 LOIN This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 10, 13, 15, 30, 32 GND These pins and package bottom must be connected to RF/DC ground. 12 Vgg Gate control for RF amplifier, please follow “MMIC Amplifier Biasing Procedure” application note. See application circuit for required external components. 14 RFOUT This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 18, 21 Vdd3, Vdd2 Power supply voltage for RF amplifier. See application circuit for required external components. 29 IF1 31 IF2 Differential IF input pins. For applications not requiring operation to DC, an off chip DC blocking capacitor should be used. For operation to DC this pin must not source/sink more than 3mA of current or part non function and possible part failure will result.

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. mixers - i/q mixers, IRMs & Receivers - SMT 9 [1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Arlon 25FR, FR4 or Rogers 4350 For price, delivery and to place orders: Hittite Microwave Corporation, 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com Application Support: Phone: 978-250-3343 or [email protected] 9 - 16
