HMC129LC4 v03.0414 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER, 4 - 8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC129LC4 is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 7 dB * Microwave & VSAT Radios LO to RF and IF Isolation: 40 dB * Test Equipment Input IP3: +17 dBm * Military EW, ECM, C I RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description 3 The HMC129LC4 is a general purpose doublebalanced MMIC mixer housed in a leadless "PB Free" RoHS-Compliant SMT package which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 to 8 GHz band. The HMC129LC4 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. The HMC129LC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

For applications not requiring operation 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/ sink more than 2 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 16 LO This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
