General Description
The HMC915LP4E is a high linearity, double-balanced
converter that operates from 0.5 to 2.7 GHz and
delivers a +28 dBm input IP3. The LO amplifier output
and high dynamic range mixer input are positioned
so that an external LO filter can be placed in series
between them if necessary. The converter provides
28 dB of LO to RF isolation and is ideal for upconver-
ter and downconverter applications. The IC operates
from a single +5V supply consuming 88 mA and ac-
cepts LO drive levels of -2 to +4 dBm. The design
requires no external baluns and supports IF frequ-
encies between DC and 1 GHz. The HMC915LP4E is
pin for pin compatible with the HMC552LP4E and the
HMC215LP4E mixers with integrated LO amplifiers.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25°C, LO = +2 dBm, Vcc = +5V, IF = 100 MHz*
