HMC332
GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED
LO AMPLIFIER, 2.0 - 2.8 GHz
v00.0901
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC332 is a single balanced mixer IC with an
integrated LO amplifi er. This converter IC can oper-
ate as an upconverter or downconverter between
2.0 GHz and 2.8 GHz. With the integrated LO ampli-
fi er, the mixer requires an LO drive level of only 0
dBm, and requires only 6 mA from a single positive
+3V rail. The mixer has 8 dB of conversion loss, an
input P1dB of 0 dBm, and an input third order inter-
cept point of +10 dBm.
Integrated LO Amplifi er w/ Pdiss: < 20 mW
Conversion Loss / Noise Figure: 8.0 dB
Low LO Drive Level: 0 dBm
Input IP3: +10 dBm
Single Positive Supply: 3V to 5V

MMDS
PCMCIA
WirelessLAN
WCDMA micro-BTS
* Unless otherwise noted, all measurements performed as downconverter, IF= 100 MHz.

Description
Interface Schematic
1
Vdd
Power supply for the LO Amplifi er. Two external RF bypass capaci-
tors (10 pF & 10,000 pF) and an external inductor (4.7 nH) are
required.
2, 5
GND
Ground: Pin must connect to RF ground.
3
IF Port
IF Port: This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using
a series capacitor whose value have been chosen to pass the
necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must
not source/sink more than 3mA of current or die non-function and
possible die failure will result.
4
RF Port
RF Port: This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 2.0
- 2.8 GHz.
6
LO Port
LO Port: This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 2.0
- 2.8 GHz.
