HMC333 / 333E
GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED
LO AMPLIFIER, 3.0 - 3.8 GHz
v01.0705
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC333 & HMC333E are single balanced mixer
ICs with integrated LO ampli ers. This converter IC
can operate as an upconverter or downconverter
between 3.0 GHz and 3.8 GHz. With the integrated
LO ampli er, the mixer requires an LO drive level of
only 0 dBm, and requires only 7 mA from a single
positive +3V rail. The mixer has 8.5 dB of conver-
sion loss, an input P1dB of 0 dBm and an input third
order intercept point of +10 dBm at 3.5 GHz.
Integrated LO Ampli er w/ Pdiss: < 25 mW
Conversion Loss / Noise Figure: 8.5 dB
Low LO Drive Level: 0 dBm
Input IP3: +10 dBm
Single Positive Supply: 3V to 5V
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C
Typical Applications
The HMC333 / HMC333E is ideal for:

Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1Vdd
Power supply for the LO Ampli er. Two external RF bypass
capacitors (10 pF & 10,000 pF) and an external inductor
(1.8 nH) are required.
2, 5 GND Ground: Pin must connect to RF ground.
3IF
This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring opera-
tion 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 die non-
function and possible die failure will result.
4RF This pin is AC coupled and matched to
50 Ohm from 3.0 - 3.8 GHz.
6LO This pin is AC coupled and matched to
50 Ohm from 3.0 - 3.8 GHz

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground
leads 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.
