The HMC925LC5 is a compact GaAs MMIC I/Q
upconverter in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT
package. This device provides a small signal con-
version gain of 16.5 dB with 30 dBc of sideband
rejection. The HMC925LC5 utilizes a RF amplifier
preceded by an I/Q mixer where the LO is driven
by a driver amplifier. IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are
provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to
select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology
reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted
sideband. The HMC925LC5 is a much smaller
alternative to hybrid style single sideband upconverter
assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire
bonding by allowing the use of surface mount man-
ufacturing techniques.

[1] Unless otherwise noted all measurements performed with high side LO, IF = 2000 MHz and external IF 90° hybrid.
[2] Adjust Vgg between -2 to 0V to achieve Idd2 + Idd3 + Idd4 = 130 mA Typical.
[2] The LO / RF Rejection is defined as the LO signal level at the RF output port relative to the desired RF output signal level.
