Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC260LC3B is a general purpose double
balanced mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant
SMT package that can be used as an upconverter
or downconverter between 14 and 26 GHz. This
mixer requires no external components or matching
circuitry. The HMC260LC3B provides excellent LO to
RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun
structures. The mixer operates with LO drive levels
above +9 dBm. The HMC260LC3B eliminates the
need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount
manufacturing techniques.

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 has been chosen to
pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC,
this pin must not source or sink more than 2 mA of current or
part non-function and possible part failure will result.
