Covers 15 to 20 GHz with 25% PAE
A key trend in the microwave radio communications industry today is the constant need for
improvement in amplifier efficiency. As newer
‘green’ basestations are developed, amplifiers,
which offer increased RF output performance
for less DC input are welcome news for designers. Hittite has launched a new power amplifier
which maintains excellent performance over its operating frequency band with only
moderate power dissipation.

compliant SMT package, the HMC1065LP4E
is a GaAs MMIC image reject low noise
converter which delivers small signal conversion gain of 13 dB with 17 dBc of image rejection.
The HMC1065LP4E utilizes an RF low noise amplifier to drive the I/Q mixer where the LCO is
driven by a x2 multiplier. IF1 and IF2 mixer outputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is
needed to select the required sideband. The HMC1065LP4E GaAs MMIC I/Q downconverter
also features a very low noise figure of less than 3 dB and typical input IP3 of 2 dBm.
The key specifications of the HMC1065LP4E are shown in the table below with the
recently released HMC6147ALC5A I/Q downconverter, which covers the 38 GHz and
42 GHz microwave radio bands.
The I/Q mixer design topology used for the HMC1065LP4E and the HMC6147ALC5A is
highly advantageous because it reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sidebands.
Both devices provide much smaller alternatives to hybrid style single sideband converter
assemblies, and they eliminate the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface
mount manufacturing techniques.

MAGNITUDE(dB)
The HMC1061LC5 is a SiGe monolithic, fully
differential, dual rank, Track-and-Hold (T/H)
amplifier that provides unprecedented
bandwidth and dynamic-range performance
to wideband sampled signal systems. The
T/H amplifier offers precision signal sampling over 18 GHz bandwidth, with 9 - 10-bit
linearity from DC to beyond 5 GHz input
frequency, 1.5 mV noise, and <70 fs random
aperture jitter. The device can be clocked to
4 GSPS with minimal dynamic range loss.
The T/H amplifier can be used to expand the
bandwidth and/or high-frequency linearity
of high-speed A/D conversion and signal
acquisition systems.

FREQUENCY(MHz)
The HMC1061LC5 ultra-wideband dual rank T/H amplifier is optimized for use in microwave
data conversion applications requiring maximum sampling bandwidth, high linearity over a very
wide bandwidth, and low noise. A key application of this device is front end
sampling for high speed A/D converters to enhance their input bandwidth and/or high
frequency linearity. Although several high speed A/D converters offer enhanced sample rates,
few of them offer input bandwidth beyond a few GHz. In addition, maintenance of good
sampling linearity at frequencies beyond the UHF band is technologically challenging and most
A/D converters suffer rapidly degraded linearity above 1 or 2 GHz signal frequency. The
HMC1061LC5 can address these limitations with its 18 GHz input bandwidth and excellent
broadband linearity. Once sampling takes place within the T/H amplifier, the low bandwidth
held output waveform can be processed by an A/D with substantially reduced bandwidth.
In addition, A/D converter linearity performance limitations at high input frequencies are also
mitigated because the settled waveform is processed with the optimal baseband linearity of
the A/D converter.

SAMPLING RATE (MSPS)
HMCAD1063 and HMCAD1073 provide two data processing configurations. In Direct Mode,
there is one LVDS pair assigned to each output bit. In Multiplexed Mode, a multiplexer is
inserted for each ADC output bit and the LVDS interface. This configuration reduces the
number of active LVDS pairs, as each LVDS pair will handle an output bit from both channel
0 and channel 1.
Fast Amplitude Detect (FAD), 2 and 4-Bit outputs provide the amplitude of the input signal
at very low latency.

Optical Modulator Driver Solutions (continued from page 1)
The wide supply operating range enables designers to lower the power
consumption of their modules by selecting the optimum supply voltage based on
their EML characteristics. The device has 50 Ohm matched inputs/outputs and
must be used in AC-coupled configuration. The optimum bias condition is set with
external bias voltages. The output signal cross-point and amplitude are adjustable
via device control pins.

The HMC1068 and HMC1069 are optical modulator drivers in die form and are
ideal for driver integrated transmitter optical sub-assembly modules for 100G
systems. Both devices support data rates up to 32 Gbps with excellent time domain
performance and the small size and low power consumption enables designers to
meet their power budgets in highly integrated designs. HMC1068 can deliver up to
3 Vp-p output voltage swing without the need for an external bias-tee and is ideal
for Electro-Absorption (EA) type modulators. HMC1069 can deliver higher voltage
up to 8 Vp-p output swings and is optimized to meet the electrical characteristics
of the Mach-Zender (MZ) type optical modulators.

The HMC1069 is biased though an external bias-tee at its RF output. Both drivers provide around 14 to 15 dB gain and depending
on the application, can be used as single stage or in cascade configuration for higher gain. The HMC1068 and HMC1069 support
wide supply voltage range, which gives designers the advantage and the flexibility to optimize and lower the power consumption of
their system for different optical modulators. These devices have 50 Ohm matched inputs/outputs and must be used AC-coupled.
The peak-detector feature is incorporated in all three devices which can be used for monitoring the output voltage swing level
during normal operation. As fiber-optic systems migrate toward smaller form factors, more highly integrated building blocks will be
needed. The HMC1068 and the HMC1069 die products address the next generation optical modulator designs where the drivers
are integrated in the same module assembly with the optical modulator.
