HMC215LP4TR

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC215LP4TR is a double-balanced RF mixer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for WiMAX and WiBro applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1.7 GHz to 4 GHz. The device features an integrated local oscillator amplifier and utilizes GaAs technology in a surface-mount LP4-24 package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum conversion loss of 11 dB, a noise figure of 8.5 dB, and a third-order intercept point (IP3) specified in decibels. It requires a 5 V supply voltage with a typical operating current of 56 mA, resulting in a power dissipation of 339 mW. The component supports operation temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging versus 'E' for cut tape when sourcing replacements. Confirm that the component status is obsolete or limited availability through official manufacturer channels before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements for the LP4-24 package.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact, single-chip solution for frequencies between 1.7 GHz and 4 GHz. Consider the integrated LO amplifier to reduce external component count. Evaluate the 8.5 dB noise figure and 11 dB conversion loss against system link budget requirements. Ensure the 56 mA supply current fits within the power constraints of the target application.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC215 series of RF mixers from Analog Devices. It is specifically optimized for broadband wireless standards such as WiMAX and WiBro. The LP4-24 package provides a small form factor suitable for space-constrained mobile and infrastructure equipment. The technology node is GaAs, distinguishing it from silicon-based alternatives in the same product family.
