HMC575LP4 / 575LP4E
SMT GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY
MULTIPLIER, 6 - 9 GHz OUTPUT
v00.0506
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, Vdd1, Vdd2 = +5V, 3 dBm Drive Level
Typical Applications
The HMC575LP4 / HMC575LP4E is suitable for:
• Wireless Local Loop
• Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios
• Test Instrumentation
• Military & Space
The HMC575LP4 & HMC575LP4E are x2 active
broadband frequency multipliers utilizing GaAs
PHEMT technology in a leadless RoHS compliant
SMT package. When driven by a 3 dBm signal, the
multiplier provides +17 dBm typical output power from
6 to 9 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are 15 dBc with
respect to output signal level. This frequency multiplier
features DC blocked I/O’s, and is ideal for use in LO
multiplier chains for Pt to Pt & VSAT Radios yielding
reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. The low
additive SSB Phase Noise of -140 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz
offset helps maintain good system noise performance.
The HMC575LP4 & HMC575LP4E are compatible with
surface mount manufacturing techniques.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the nal application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design tech-
niques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm imped-
ance while the package ground leads and exposed
paddle should be connected directly to the ground
plane similar to that shown. The evaluation circuit
board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
