HMC665LP4 / 665LP4E v00.0508 Mixers - HIGH IP3 - SMT 10 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED IF & LO AMPLIFIER, 0.7 - 1.2 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC665LP4 / HMC665LP4E is ideal for: High Input IP3: +23 dBm • Cellular/3G & WiMAX/LTE/4G Infrastructure Low Input LO Drive: -3 to +6 dBm • Base Stations & Repeaters High LO to RF Isolation: 36 dB • Broadband & Fixed Wireless High Conversion Gain: 10 dB • Access Points Ideal for Upconversion or Downconversion • Test & Measurement Equipment 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC665LP4E is a highly integrated converter IC that operates from 0.7 to 1.2 GHz for both up-conversion and downconversion applications. The HMC665LP4E incorporates a high dynamic range, passive doublebalanced mixer core with integrated LO and IF amplifiers, making it ideal for compact transceiver applications in GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, WiBro and WiMAX. This versatile converter RFIC operates with a low LO input power level of only -3 dBm, provides up to 10 dB conversion gain, and exhibits +23 dBm Input IP3 in downconversion mode. This RFIC provides up to 11 dB conversion gain in upconverter mode. Specific evaluation boards are available for both upconverter and downconverter modes.

See Application Circuit. 9 CAP AC ground. An external capacitor of 0.01 µF to ground is required for low frequency bypassing. See application circuit for further details. 10 MIXIF 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 18 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 12 IFOUT This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. 13 VddIF Power supply for IF amplifier. Choke inductor and bypass capacitor are required. See application circuit. 16 MIXLO This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms. An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required. 17 GND Backside of package has exposed metal ground paddle that must also be connected to ground. 18 VccLO Power supply and RF Output of the LO amplifier. Three external bypass capacitors are recommended for optimum performance, as illustrated in the application circuit. N/C Description No connection. These pins may be connected to RF ground. Performance will not be affected.
