HMC581LP6 / 581LP6E v00.0806 Typical Applications Features The HMC581LP6 / HMC581LP6E is ideal for Wireless Infrastructure Applications: +26 dBm Input IP3 • GSM, GPRS & EDGE 9 dB Conversion Gain • CDMA & W-CDMA 13 dB Noise Figure • Cellular / 3G Infrastructure Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 260 mA Functional Diagram General Description MIXERS - SMT 8 HIGH IP3 RFIC DUAL DOWNCONVERTER, 800 - 960 MHz Low Single Input LO Drive: 0 dBm The HMC581LP6 & HMC581LP6E are high linearity Dual Down Converter Receiver ICs that operate from 800 - 960 MHz and deliver a +26 dBm input third order intercept point for UMTS & GSM applications. The passive mixer outputs and high dynamic range IF amplifier inputs are positioned so that an external IF filter can be placed in series between them. The converter provides a gain of 9 dB and typical single side band noise figure of 13 dB. The IC operates from a single +5V supply consuming 260 mA of current while requiring only 0 dBm LO drive. The design requires no external baluns, no external matching and supports IF frequencies between 50 and 300 MHz.
