HMC381LP6 / 381LP6E
HIGH IP3 RFIC DUAL
DOWNCONVERTER, 1.7 - 2.7 GHz
v04.1007
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC381LP6 & HMC381LP6E are high linearity
Dual Down Converter Receiver ICs that operate
from 1.7 - 2.7 GHz and deliver a +27 dBm input third
order intercept point for UMTS, PHS and WiMAX
applications. The passive mixer outputs and high
dynamic range IF ampli er inputs are positioned
so that an external IF lter can be placed in series
between them. The converter provides a gain of
9 dB and 12 dB typical single side band noise
gure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail
consuming 260 mA of current while requiring a LO
drive level of only -4 to +4 dBm. The design requires
no external baluns and supports IF frequencies
between 50 and 300 MHz.
Input IP3: +27 dBm
Low Single Input LO Drive: 0 dBm
Conversion Gain: 9 dB
Noise Figure: 12 dB
Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 260 mA
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, LO = 0 dBm, Vdd = 5V
Typical Applications
The HMC381LP6 / HMC381LP6E is ideal for Wireless
Infrastructure Applications:
• GSM, GPRS & EDGE
• CDMA & W-CDMA
• PHS & PDC
• WiMAX

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 and exposed paddle should be con-
nected 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.
