Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC524LC3B is a compact I/Q MMIC mixer
which can be used as either an Image Reject Mixer
or a Single Sideband Upconverter. The chip utilizes
standard Hittite mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid
fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process. A low
frequency quadrature hybrid was used to produce
a 100 MHz USB IF output. This product is a much
smaller alternative to hybrid style Image Reject mixers
and single sideband upconverter assemblies. The
HMC524LC3B eliminates the need for wirebonding,
allowing the use of surface mount techniques.

Description
The backside of the die must be connected
to RF/DC ground.
This pad is AC coupled and
matched to 50 Ohms.
This pad is DC coupled. For applications not
requiring operation 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 pad must
not source/sink more than 3mA of current or die
non-function and possible die failure will result.
No connection required.
These pins may be connected to RF/DC ground
without affecting performance
