HMC215LP4 / HMC215LP4E

The HMC215LP4(E) is a high linearity, double-balanced converter IC that operates from 1.7 to 4.0 GHz and delivers a +25 dBm input third order intercept point. 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. The converter provides 32 dB of LO to RF isolation and is ideal for upconverter and down converter applications.

The IC operates from a single +5V supply consuming 56 mA of current and accepts a LO drive level of 2 to 6 dBm. The design requires no external baluns and supports IF frequencies between DC and 1 GHz. The HMC215LP4(E) is pin for pin compatible with the HMC552LP4(E), which operates from 1.6 to 3.0 GHz.
