GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HMC554ALC3B is a general-purpose, double balanced

mixer in a leadless RoHS compliant leadless chip carrier (LCC)

package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter

between 10 GHz and 20 GHz. This mixer is fabricated in a

gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect

transistor (MESFET) process and requires no external

components or matching circuitry. The HMC554ALC3B

provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to RF and LO to

intermediate frequency (IF) isolation due to optimized balun

structures. The RoHS compliant HMC554ALC3B eliminates the

need for wire bonding and is compatible with high volume

surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
