HMC333 / 333E v01.0705 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 3.0 - 3.8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC333 / HMC333E is ideal for: Integrated LO Amplifier w/ Pdiss: < 25 mW • Wireless Local Loop Conversion Loss / Noise Figure: 8.5 dB Low LO Drive Level: 0 dBm Input IP3: +10 dBm Single Positive Supply: 3V to 5V MIXERS - SGL-BAL - SMT 9 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC333 & HMC333E are single balanced mixer ICs with integrated LO amplifiers. This converter IC can operate as an upconverter or downconverter between 3.0 GHz and 3.8 GHz. With the integrated LO amplifier, the mixer requires an LO drive level of only 0 dBm, and requires only 7 mA from a single positive +3V rail. The mixer has 8.5 dB of conversion loss, an input P1dB of 0 dBm and an input third order intercept point of +10 dBm at 3.5 GHz.

Two external RF bypass capacitors (10 pF & 10,000 pF) and an external inductor (1.8 nH) are required. 2, 5 GND Ground: Pin must connect to RF ground. 3 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/sink more than 3mA of current or die nonfunction and possible die failure will result. 4 RF This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 3.0 - 3.8 GHz. 6 LO This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 3.0 - 3.8 GHz Interface Schematic For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com 9 MIXERS - SGL-BAL - SMT Pin Number 9 - 199 HMC333 / 333E v01.0705 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 3.0 - 3.8 GHz Application Circuit MIXERS - SGL-BAL - SMT 9 9 - 200 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC333 / 333E v01.0705 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 3.0 - 3.8 GHz Evaluation PCB MIXERS - SGL-BAL - SMT 9 List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 105128 [1] Item Description J1 - J4 PCB Mount SMA RF Connector C1 10 pF Capacitor, 0603 Pkg.
