HMC666LP4 / 666LP4E v02.1010 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT 10 BiCMOS MMIC MIXER W/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 3.1 - 3.9 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC666LP4(E) is Ideal for: High Input IP3: +31 dBm * WiMAX/4G & Fixed Wireless Low Conversion Loss: 9 dB * Infrastructure & Repeaters Low LO Drive: 0 dBm * Transmitters & Receivers Upconversion & Downconversion Applications * Test & Measurement Equipment Optimized for low side LO input 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC666LP4(E) is a high dynamic range passive MMIC mixer with integrated LO amplifier in a 4x4 SMT QFN package covering 3.1 - 3.9 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +31 dBm for down conversion is provided for WiMAX and fixed wireless applications at an LO drive of 0 dBm. The LO port is optimized for low side LO applications. With an input 1 dB compression of +23 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 9 dB typical. The DC to 800 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy WiMAX transmit or receive frequency plans. The HMC666LP4(E) is pin for pin compatible with the HMC688LP4(E) which is a 2.0 - 2.7 GHz mixer with LO amplifier.
