HMC554LC3B v06.0514 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 11 - 20 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC554LC3B is ideal for: High LO/RF Isolation: 46 dB T • Point-to-Point Radios Passive Double Balanced Topology M • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB S • Test Equipment & Sensors Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 6 GHz - D • Military End-Use Robust 1,000V ESD, Class 1C E 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm2 C N A Functional Diagram General Description L A The HMC554LC3B is a general purpose double B balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT E package that can be used as an upconverter or L downconverter between 11 and 20 GHz. This mixer is B fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires U no external components or matching circuitry. The O HMC554LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO D to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures. The & RoHS compliant HMC554LC3B eliminates the need E for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume L surface mount manufacturing techniques.
