General Description
The HMC496LP3 & HMC496LP3E are low noise
Wideband Direct Quadrature Modulator RFICs
which are ideal for digital modulation applications
from 4 - 7 GHz including; WLL, U-NII, WLAN &
microwave radios. Housed in a compact 3x3
mm (LP3) SMT QFN package, the RFIC requires
minimal external components & provides a low cost
alternative to more complicated double upconversion
architectures. The RF output port is matched to 50
Ohms with no external components. The LO requires
-3 to +6 dBm and can be driven in either differential
or single-ended mode while the Baseband inputs
will support modulation inputs from DC - 250 MHz
typical. This device is optimized for a supply voltage
of +3V @ 93 mA and will provide stable performance
over a +2.7V to +3.3V range.
