General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC264LC3B is a 21 - 31 GHz Sub-
harmonically Pumped (x2) MMIC Mixer with an
integrated LO amplifi er in a leadless "Pb Free"
SMT package. The 2LO to RF isolation is excellent
at 30 dB, eliminating the need for additional
fi ltering. The LO amplifi er is a single bias
(+3V to +4V) design with only -4 to +4 dBm drive
requirement. The RF and LO ports are DC blocked
and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use while
the IF covers DC to 6 GHz. The HMC264LC3B
eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing
use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

IF
IF Port. This pin is DC coupled and should be DC blocked externally
using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the
necessary IF frequency range. Any applied DC voltage to this pin will
result in die non-function and possible die failure.
