Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC558LC3B is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package that can be used as an upconverter or
downconverter between 5.5 and 14 GHz. This mixer
is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and
requires no external components or matching circuitry. The HMC558LC3B provides excellent LO to
RF and LO to IF isolation due to optimized balun
structures and operates with LO drive levels as low as
+9 dBm. The RoHS compliant HMC558LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, and is compatible
with high volume surface mount manufacturing
techniques.

IF
This pin 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.

[2] Circuit Board Material: Arlon 25 RF
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.
