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 com-
patible with the HMC551LP4 & HMC551LP4e, which
operate from 0.8 to 1.2 GHz.
