HMC554LC3B

v06.0514

GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL

MIXER, 11 - 20 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

High LO/RF Isolation: 46 dB

Passive Double Balanced Topology

Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB

Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 6 GHz

Robust 1,000V ESD, Class 1C

Typical Applications

The HMC554LC3B is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT

• Test Equipment & Sensors

• Military End-Use

The HMC554LC3B is a general purpose double

balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT

package that can be used as an upconverter or

downconverter between 11 and 20 GHz. This mixer is

fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process, and requires

no external components or matching circuitry. The

HMC554LC3B provides excellent LO to RF and LO

to IF isolation due to optimized balun structures. The

RoHS compliant HMC554LC3B eliminates the need

for wire bonding, and is compatible with high volume

surface mount manufacturing techniques.
