HMC552LP4 / 552LP4E
GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED
LO AMPLIFIER, 1.6 - 3.0 GHz

General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC552LP4 & HMC552LP4E are high linearity,
double-balanced converter ICs that operate from
1.6 to 3.0 GHz and deliver a +25 dBm input third
order intercept point. The LO amplier output and
high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so
that an external LO lter can be placed in series
be-tween them. The converter provides 30 dB of
LO to RF isolation and is ideal for upconverter and
down-converter applications. The IC operates from
a single +5V supply consuming 62 mA of current
and accepts a LO drive level of -4 to +4 dBm. The
design requires no external baluns and supports
IF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz. The
HMC552LP4 & HMC552LP4E are pin for pin com-
patible with the HMC551LP4 & HMC551LP4E, which
operate from 0.8 to 1.2 GHz.
