HMC951LP4E v03.0513 GaAs MMIC I/Q DOWNCONVERTER 5.6 - 8.6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC951LP4E is ideal for: Conversion Gain: 13 dB 9 • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Image Rejection: 20 dB • Military Radar, EW & ELINT LO to RF Isolation: 48 dB • Satellite Communications Noise Figure: 2.3 dB T Input IP3: 3 dBm E m 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm² s Functional Diagram General Description - T The HMC951LP4E is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q s downconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant r SMT package. This device provides a small signal e E v conversion gain of 13 dB with a noise figure of 2 dB i and 25 dB of image rejection across the frequency e band. The HMC951LP4E utilizes an LNA followed by c e an imLage reject mixer which is driven by an LO buffer r amplifier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a filter following the LNA, and removes thermal & O noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs s are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to m select the required sideband. The HMC951LP4E is a r much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject i S mixer downconverter assemblies, and is compatible , s with surface mount manufacturing techniques. r Electrical Specifications, T = +25 °C, IF = 1000 MHz, LO = 0 dBm, Vdd = 5 V LSB [1] e A B x Parameter Min.

See application circuit. c e L This pin is the RF input pin. It is AC r 5 RFIN coupled and matched to 50 Ohms & O s 10 LOIN This pin is the LO input pin. It is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms m r i S , s Power supply voltages for LO Amplifier. Bypass 14, 16 VDD1, VDD2 capacitors are required. See application circuit r e B x i m This pin is used to set the DC current of the 15 VBIAS_LO LO amplifier by selection of the external bias q O resistor. See application circuit. / i - These pins are not connected internally; however, all data s 17, 18 N/C shown herein was measured with these pins connected to RF/DC ground externally. r e This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring 20 IF2 x operations to DC this port should be DC blocked externally i using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to m pass the necessary frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not sink / source more than 3 mA of current or 23 IF1 part non-function and possible failure will result.
