HMC774LC3B v01.0514 GaAs MMIC FUNDAMENTAL MIXER, 7 - 34 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC774LC3B is ideal for: Passive: No DC Bias Required T • Point-to-Point Radios Input IP3: +22 dBm M • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT LO/RF Isolation: 35 dB S • Test Equipment & Sensors Wide IF Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz - D • Military End-Use 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9mm2 E C N A Functional Diagram General Description L A The HMC774LC3B is a general purpose double B balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT E package that can be used as an upconverter or L downconverter between 7 and 34 GHz. This mixer B requires no external components or matching U circuitry. The HMC774LC3B provides excellent LO to O RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun D structures. The mixer operates best with LO drive & levels above +15 dBm. The HMC774LC3B eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface E L mount manufacturing techniques.

S - D This pin is DC coupled 2 LO and matched to 50 Ohms. E C N These pins are not connected internally; however, all data A 4, 6, 11 N/C shown herein was measured with these pins connected to RF/DC ground externally. L A This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring opera- B tion to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the 5 IF E necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin L must not source or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result.
