systems:
• Baseband filtering before a/D or after D/a converters
for point-to-point fixed wireless or base station
transceivers (gsM/gPRs, WCDMa & TD-sCDMa)
• Integrated direct conversion receiver (DCR) when
mated with mixer and Vga
• software defined radio applications
• anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters
• Test and measurement equipment

Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC900lP5e is a 6th order, programmable
bandwidth, fully calibrated, dual low pass filter. It
features 0 or 10 dB input gain setting and supports
arbitrary bandwidths from 3.5 MHz to 50 MHz,
and when calibrated, is accurate to +/-2.5% of the
desired bandwidth. It includes a 100 MHz bandwidth
filter bypass option while retaining gain setting and
common mode control.
Housed in a compact 5x5 mm sMT QFN package,
the
HMC900lP5e
requires
minimal
exter-
nal components and provides a low cost alternative to
more complicated switched discrete filter architectures.
The integrated aDC driver and externally controlled
common mode output level further simplify system
implementations.
Filter calibration for the HMC900lP5e is accomp-
lished with any reference clock rate from 20 to 80
MHz. One time programmable (OTP) memory offers
unsurpassed flexibility allowing the user “set and
forget” parameters like gain and bandwidth setting.
Matched filter paths provide excellent quadrature
balance, making the HMC900lP5e ideal for I/Q
communications applications.
The 6th order Butterworth transfer function delivers
superior stop band rejection while maintaining both a
flat passband and minimal group delay variation.

[1] The attenuation of the filter transfer function can be calculated directly at any frequency f as: attenuation = 10*log
10
(1+(f/f
0
)
^(2*6)
), where
f
0
is the 3dB bandwidth or corner frequency for the filter. similarly, for a given maximum attenuation and 3dB bandwidth, f
0
, the frequency
at which the attenuation is achieved can be calculated as: f=(10
^(attenuation/10)
-1)^
(1/(2*6))
* f
0
. Note that for a 6th order Butterworth filter the
1dB bandwidth is at ~89% of the filter bandwidth and 0.5dB bandwidth is at 84% of the filter bandwidth.
