HMC522LC4
GaAs MMIC I/Q MIXER
11 - 16 GHz
v00.1204
General Description
Features
Typical Applications
The HMC522LC4 is a compact I /Q MMIC mixer in
a leadless "Pb free" SMT package, which can be
used as either an Image Reject Mixer or a Single
Sideband Upconverter. The mixer utilizes two
standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and
a 90 degree hybrid fabricated in a GaAs MESFET
process. A low frequency quadrature hybrid was
used to produce a 100 MHz USB IF output. This
product is a much smaller alternative to hybrid
style Image Reject Mixers and Single Sideband
Upconverter assemblies. The HMC522LC4
eliminates the need for wire bonding allowing use
of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

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 has 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 part non-function
and possible part failure will result.
