HMC158 v06.0711 FREQUency MULTIPLIERS - Passive - CHIP 2 Typical Applications Features The HMC158 is suitable for: Conversion Loss: 15 dB • Wireless Local Loop Fo, 3Fo, 4Fo Isolation: 40 dB • LMDS, VSAT, and Point-to-Point Radios Input Drive Level: 10 to 20 dBm • UNII & HiperLAN Die Size: 1.0 x 1.15 x 0.18 mm • Test Equipment Functional Diagram General Description The HMC158 is a miniature frequency doubler in a MMIC die. Suppression of undesired fundamental and higher order harmonics is 40 dB typical with respect to input signal level. The doubler uses the same diode/balun technology used in Hittite MMIC mixers, features small size and requires no DC bias.

Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes. Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip may have fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers. Mounting Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule. Wire Bonding Ball or wedge bond with 1.0 diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package. RF bonds should be as short as possible.
