HMC380QS16G / 380QS16GE v02.0305 PCS/UMTS HIGH IP3 RFIC DOWNCONVERTER, 1.7 - 2.2 GHz 8 Typical Applications Features The HMC380QS16G / HMC380QS16GE is ideal for: +19 dBm Input IP3 • GSM, GPRS & EDGE Infrastructure Low LO Drive: -5 dBm • CDMA, WCDMA Infrastructure Conversion Gain: 11 dB • PHS Infrastructure Noise Figure: 9 dB MIXERS - DOWNCONVERTERS - SMT Single Positive Supply: +5V, 165 mA Functional Diagram General Description The HMC380QS16G & HMC380QS16GE are high linearity down-converter receiver ICs suitable for PCS/UMTS infrastructure applications from 1.7 - 2.2 GHz. The receiver IC is designed to support UMTS applications where a high third order intercept point is required. A passive mixer coupled with a high dynamic range IF amplifier achieves an input IP3 of +19 dBm. The converter provides a gain of 11.5 dB and 9 dB typical single side band noise figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail consuming 165 mA of current while only requiring a -5 dBm LO drive. The design requires no external baluns. The mixer supports IF frequencies between 50 MHz and 300 MHz. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, LO = -5 dBm, Vdd = 5V, IF = 250 MHz [1] Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Min. Typ. Max.
