Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC709LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 13 dB with -20 dBc of sideband
rejection. The HMC709LC5 utilizes a driver amplifier
preceded by an I/Q mixer which is driven by an LO
buffer amplifier. 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
HMC709LC5 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.

123310 Evaluation Board
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.
