HMC377QS16G / 377QS16GE v02.0207 8 CELLULAR HIGH IP3 RFIC DOWNCONVERTER, 0.8 - 1.0 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC377QS16G / HMC377QS16GE is ideal for: +15 dBm Input IP3, +29 dBm Output IP3 • GSM & CDMA Infrastructure Low LO Drive: -5 dBm LO • GPRS & EDGE Infrastructure Conversion Gain: 14 dB • Wireless Data/CDPD Noise Figure: 11 dB MIXERS - DOWNCONVERTERS - SMT Positive Supply: +5V @ 135 mA Functional Diagram General Description The HMC377QS16G & HMC377QS16GE are linear downconverter receiver ICs suitable for cellular infrastructure applications from 0.8 - 1.0 GHz. An integrated mixer coupled with a high dynamic range IF amplifier achieves an input intercept point (IP3) of +15 dBm, and an input P1dB of +3.5 dBm. The converter provides a gain of 13.5 dB and only 11 dB typical single side band noise figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail consuming 135 mA of current while requiring only -5 dBm LO drive. The design requires no external baluns. The mixer supports IF frequencies between 50 MHz and 250 MHz. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, LO = -5 dBm, IF = 70 MHz, Vdd = 5V Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
