HMC340ALP5 / 340ALP5E v00.0710 Mixers - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT 10 GaAs MMIC SMT Double-Balanced DUAL Mixer, 1.7 - 4.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC340ALP5 / HMC340ALP5E Dual Mixer is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 8.0 dB • Wireless Infrastructure LO/IF Isolation: 33 dB • Wireless Local Loop Input IP3: +20 dBm • Image Reject Mixer Conversion Gain Balance: 0.1 dB • I/Q Modulator 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm2 LO/RF Isolation: 45 dB • SSB Modulator Functional Diagram General Description The HMC340ALP5(E) is a double balanced dual mixer covering 1.7 - 4.5 GHz RF/LO range. This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and on-chip baluns. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, bi-phase (de)modulator, or phase comparator. The mixer symmetry of the HMC340ALP5(E) make it ideal for combining with external hybrids to implement a single sideband upconverter or image reject downconverter assembly. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance. A RoHS compliant, leadless 5x5 mm QFN surface mount package (LP5) houses the dual MMIC mixer IC.

These pins may be connected to RF ground without affecting performance. 3, 6 LO1, LO2 LO Port: This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 12, 29 IF2, IF1 IF Port: This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose values has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/sink more than 4mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 19, 22 RF2, RF1 RF Port: This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
