HMC141LH5 v00.0705 7 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLEBALANCED MIXER, 7 - 14 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC141LH5 is ideal for: Input IP3: +20 dBm • Telecom Infrastructure LO to RF Isolation: 35 dB • Military Radio, Radar & ECM Hermetic SMT Package, 25 mm2 • Space Systems Screening to MIL-PRF-38535 (Class B or S) Available MIXERS - SMT • Test Instrumentation Functional Diagram General Description The HMC141LH5 is a miniature passive doublebalanced mixer housed in a hermetic SMT leadless package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter. The device is a passive diode/balun type mixer with high dynamic range. The mixer can handle larger signal levels than most active mixers due to the high third order intercept of 20 dBm. MMIC implementation provides exceptional balance in the circuit resulting in high LO/RF and LO/IF isolations and unit-to-unit consistency. The HMC141LH5 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable for high reliability military, industrial and space applications.

For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/ sink more than 2 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 8 LO This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms from 7 - 14 GHz Interface Schematic For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC141LH5 v00.0705 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLEBALANCED MIXER, 7 - 14 GHz Evaluation PCB MIXERS - SMT 7 List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 111552 [1] Item Description J1 - J3 PCB Mount SMA RF Connector, SRI U1 HMC141LH5 PCB [2] 111550 Evaluation Board [1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350 The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques.
