HMC683LP6C / 683LP6CE v02.0808 HIGH IP3 DUAL CHANNEL DOWNCONVERTER w/ LO SWITCH, 0.7 - 1.0 GHz mixers - Downconverters - SMT 9 Typical Applications Features The HMC683LP6C(E) is Ideal for: High Input IP3: +23 dBm • Cellular/3G & LTE/WiMAX/4G Conversion Gain: 7.5 dB • Basestations & Repeaters Low LO Drive: 0 dBm • GSM, CDMA & OFDM High Channel Isolation • Dual Density Receivers 40 Lead 6x6mm SMT Package: 36mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC683LP6C(E) is a high linearity, dual channel downconverter with integrated LO amplifier in a 6x6 SMT QFN package covering 0.7 - 1.0 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +23 dBm for down conversion is provided for 3G & 4G GSM/CDMA applications at an LO drive of 0 dBm. With an input 1 dB compression of +11 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion gain is 7.5 dB typical. The 60 - 500 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy various GSM/CDMA receive frequency plans.
