Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC144LH5 is a Double-Balanced MMIC Mixer
housed in a hermetic SMT leadless package which
can be used as an upconverter or downconverter
from 6 to 20 GHz. Broadband operation and excellent
isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, while no
external components or DC bias are required. The
HMC144LH5 is a more reliable alternative to hybrid
diode mixers, assuring consistent conversion loss
and isolation performance over multiple production
lots. The HMC144LH5 allows the use of surface
mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable
for high reliability, military, industrial and space
applications.

IF
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/
sink more than 2 mA of current or die non-function and possible
die failure will result.
