HMC622LP4 / 622LP4E

GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED

IF & LO AMPLIFIER, 1.8 - 3.9 GHz

v01.0508

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC622LP4E is a highly integrated converter

IC that operates from 1.8 to 3.9 GHz for both up-

conversion and downconversion applications. The

HMC622LP4E incorporates a high dynamic range,

double-balanced mixer core with integrated LO and

IF ampli ers, making it ideal for compact transceiver

applications in GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, WiBro

and WiMAX. This versatile converter RFIC operates

with a low LO input power level of only +3 dBm, pro-

vides up to 10 dB conversion gain, and exhibits +23

dBm Input IP3 in downconversion mode. This RFIC

provides up to 12 dB conversion gain in upconverter

mode. Speci c evaluation boards are available for

both upconversion and downconversion modes.

High Input IP3: +23 dBm

Low Input LO Drive: 0 to +6 dBm

High LO to RF Isolation: 33 dB

High Conversion Gain: 9 dB

Can be used for upconversion or downconversion

Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic

7IFIN

This pin is matched to 50 ohms with a 51nH inductor to

ground. See Application Circuit.

9CAP

AC ground. An external capacitor of 0.01 μF to ground

is required for low frequency bypassing. See applica-

tion circuit for further details.

10 MIXIF

This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring

operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked exter-

nally 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 18 mA of current or part non-function and possible

part failure will result.

12 IFOUT This pin is AC coupled and

matched to 50 Ohms.

13 VddIF

Power supply for IF ampli er. Choke

inductor and bypass capacitor are required.

See application circuit.

16 MIXLO This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.

An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required.

17 GND Backside of package has exposed metal ground

paddle that must also be connected to ground.

18 BIAS

Power supply and RF Output of the LO

ampli er. Three external bypass capacitors

are recommended for optimum performance,

as illustrated in the application circuit.

21 LO

This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.

An off chip DC blocking capacitor is required.

See application circuit.

Evaluation PCB - Upconverter Mode

The circuit board used in the  nal application should

use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines

should have 50 ohm impedance while the package

ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-

nected directly to the ground plane similar to that

shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be

used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.

The evaluation circuit board shown is available from

Hittite upon request.
