CHX2192 RoHS COMPLIANT 30-60GHz Frequency Multiplier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description The CHX2192 is a balanced frequency multiplier by 2 monolithic circuit. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounded. This simplifies the assembly process. The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT process, 0.15µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. It is available in chip form. 16 12 Main Features ¦ Broadband performance : 27 - 33 GHz ¦ 11dBm output power for +12dBm input power ¦ DC power consumption, 130mA @ 3.5V (with RF) ¦ Chip size : 2.12 x 1.11 x 0.10 mm Output power (dBm) 8 4 0 Pout@Fin -4 Pout@2Fin -8 -12 -16 -20 -24 -28 -32 25 27 29 31 33 35 Frequency (GHz) Main Characteristics Tamb. = 25°C Symbol Fin Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Input frequency range 27 33 GHz Fout Output frequency range 54 66 GHz Pin Input power Pout Output power for +12dBm input power 12 8 11 dBm 13 dBm ESD Protection : Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.
