HMC130
GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED
MIXER, 6 - 11 GHz
v04.1007
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Conversion Loss: 7 dB
LO to RF and IF Isolation: >32 dB
Input IP3: +17 dBm
No DC Bias Required
Die Size: 1.45 x 1.3 x 0.1 mm
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, LO Drive = +15 dBm
Typical Applications
The HMC130 is ideal for:
• Microwave & VSAT Radios
• Test Equipment
• Military EW, ECM, C3I
• Space Telecom
The HMC130 chip is a miniature double-balanced
mixer which can be used as an upconverter or down-
converter in the 6 to 11 GHz band. The chip can be
integrated directly into hybrid MMIC’s without DC bias
or external baluns to provide an extremely compact
mixer. It is ideally suited for applications where small
size, no DC Bias, and consistent IC performance are
required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive
input of +9 to +15 dBm. It performs equally well as a
Bi-Phase modulator or demodulator. See HMC137
data sheet.

Pad Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1RF This pin is DC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.
2LO This pin is DC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.
3IF
This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring oper-
ation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using
a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass
the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC this
pin must not source or sink more than 2mA of current or die
non-function and possible die failure will result.
GND The backside of the die must connect to RF ground.

Assembly Diagram
Handling Precautions
Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage.
Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag
for shipment. 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 has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or ngers.
Mounting
The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting
surface should be clean and at.
Eutectic Die Attach: A 80/20 gold tin preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255 °C and a tool temperature
of 265 °C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool tip temperature should be 290 °C. DO NOT expose the chip
to a temperature greater than 320 °C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 3 seconds of scrubbing should be required for
attachment.
Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy llet 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 0.025 mm (1 mil) 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 or
substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible <0.31 mm (12 mils).
