HMC567LC5
v04.0514
GaAs MMIC I/Q DOWNCONVERTER
7 - 9 GHz
General Description
FeaturesTypical Applications
The HMC567LC5 is a compact GaAs MCM I/Q
downconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant
SMT package. This device provides a small signal
conversion gain of 10 dB with a noise gure of 2.5 dB
and 35 dB of image rejection across the frequency
band. The HMC567LC5 utilizes an LNA followed by
an image reject mixer which is driven by an LO buffer
amplier. The image reject mixer eliminates the need
for a lter following the LNA, and removes thermal
noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs
are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to
select the required sideband. The HMC567LC5 is a
much smaller alternative to hybrid style image reject
mixer downconverter assemblies, and it eliminates the
need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface
mount manufacturing techniques.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used to
connect the top and bottom ground planes. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
