HMC577LC4B v03.0514 SMT GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 27 - 31 GHz OUTPUT Typical Applications Features The HMC577LC4B is suitable for: Very High Output Power: +20 dBm T • Clock Generation Applications: Low Input Power Drive: -2 to +6 dBm M SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64 Very High Fo, 3Fo Isolation: S • Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios >55 dBc @ Fout= 29 GHz - • Test Instrumentation 100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -128 dBc/Hz E V • Military & Space Single Supply: +5V @ 213 mA I T 24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 16mm² C A Functional Diagram General Description - S The HMC577LC4B is a x2 active broadband frequ- R ency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a E leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. When driven I L by a +5 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +20 dBm P typical output power from 27 to 31 GHz. The Fo and I T 3Fo isolations are >55 dBc at 29 GHz. The L HMC577LC4B is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains U for Pt-to-Pt & VSAT Radios yielding reduced parts M count vs. traditional approaches. The low additive Q. SSB Phase Noise of -128 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset E helps maintain good system noise performance. The R RoHS packaged HMC577LC4B eliminates the need F for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
