Functional Diagram
General Description
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 amplifier output and
high dynamic range mixer input are positioned so
that an external LO filter 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 compatible with the HMC551LP4 &
HMC551LP4E, which operate from 0.8 to 1.2 GHz.
