HMC688LP4 / 688LP4E v01.1010 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT 10 BiCMOS MMIC MIXER W/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 2.0 - 2.7 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC688LP4(E) is Ideal for: High Input IP3: +35 dBm * Cellular/3G & LTE/WiMAX/4G Low Conversion Loss: 7.5 dB * Basestations & Repeaters Low LO Drive: 0 dBm * GSM, CDMA & OFDM Optimized for Low Side LO Input * Transmitters and Receivers Upconversion & Downconversion Applications 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC688LP4(E) is a high dynamic range passive MMIC mixer with integrated LO amplifier in a 4x4 SMT QFN package covering 2.0 to 2.7 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +35 dBm for down conversion is provided for 3G & 4G GSM/CDMA applications at an LO drive of 0 dBm. With an input 1 dB compression of +25 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 7.5 dB typical. The DC to 700 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy GSM/CDMA transmit or receive frequency plans. The HMC688LP4(E) is pin for pin compatible with the HMC689LP4(E) which is a 2.0 - 2.7 GHz mixer with LO amplifier optimized for high side LO applications.
