Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC710LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 12 dB with -20 dBc of sideband
rejection. The HMC710LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier
preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven
by an active x2 multiplier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs
are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed
to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted
sideband. The HMC710LC5 is a much smaller
alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter
assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire
bonding by allowing the use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.

The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 Ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be
connected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
