HMC-XTB110-SX

Overview

The HMC-XTB110-SX is a passive x3 frequency multiplier die utilizing GaAs Schottky diode technology. It operates within an input frequency range of 23,300 MHz to 30,000 MHz. The component provides low conversion loss and high fundamental output isolation without requiring a DC power supply. Designed for direct frequency multiplication at a 3x ratio, it serves as a compact solution for generating higher frequencies from lower source signals in RF applications.

Feature Summary

• Passive operation eliminating the need for external DC bias voltage
• High isolation between fundamental input and tripled output frequencies
• Low conversion loss characteristics inherent to GaAs Schottky diode construction

Applications

• Radar systems requiring local oscillator generation
• Wireless communication infrastructure upconverters
• Test and measurement equipment signal sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that the bare die form factor aligns with your assembly capabilities, as this component requires specialized mounting and bonding processes distinct from packaged ICs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a passive, low-noise multiplication stage is required for millimeter-wave applications. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with GaAs dies and ensure the driving source can provide sufficient power to achieve optimal conversion efficiency across the specified 23.3 GHz to 30 GHz input band.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC-XTB110 family of broadband passive multipliers. The -SX suffix typically denotes a specific tape-and-reel or die configuration variant offered by Analog Devices for surface-mount integration. It shares core functional architecture with other members of the XTB series but may differ in physical handling or packaging details.
