HMC204 v03.0304 MICROWAVE CORPORATION GaAs MMIC PASSIVE FREQUENCY DOUBLER, 4 - 8 GHz INPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC204 is suitable for: Conversion Loss: 17 dB • Wireless Local Loop Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 38 dB • LMDS, VSAT, and Pt to Pt Radios Passive: No Bias Required • Test Equipment FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - CHIP 4 Functional Diagram The HMC204 is a passive miniature frequency doubler in a MMIC die. Suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order harmonics is 38 dB typical with respect to input signal level. The doubler utilizes the same GaAs Schottky diode/balun technology found in Hittite MMIC mixers. It features small size, no DC bias, and no measurable additive phase noise onto the multiplied signal.

Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against > ± 250V ESD strikes. FREQ. MULTIPLIERS - CHIP 4 4 - 14 Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers. Mounting The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean and flat. Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule. Wire Bonding Ball or wedge bond with 1.0 diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding wiht a nominal stage temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energry to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package. RF bonds should be as short as possible.
