HMC264LC3B

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC264LC3B is a sub-harmonically pumped (x2) MMIC mixer operating in the 21 GHz to 31 GHz range, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features an integrated LO amplifier and utilizes GaAs technology within a leadless Pb Free SMT QFN-12 package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum conversion loss of 12 dB and a noise figure of 9 dB. The device operates on a 5 V supply with a current draw of 28 mA, dissipating 227 mW. It supports an industrial temperature range from -40 C to +85 C.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Sub-harmonic pumping capability eliminates the need for high-frequency LO sources
• Integrated local oscillator amplifier simplifies circuit design
• Leadless surface-mount package removes wire bonding requirements

RF Mixers Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite communication systems
• Electronic warfare applications
• Test and measurement equipment

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels due to limited availability status. Confirm RoHS compliance details and moisture sensitivity handling procedures prior to assembly. Ensure supply chain stability as distribution may be restricted or subject to factory special orders. Validate package integrity against cut tape specifications before integration into production workflows.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring direct 21-31 GHz mixing without external LO multipliers. The integrated LO amplifier reduces bill-of-materials complexity compared to discrete solutions. Consider the QFN-12 footprint for compact PCB layouts. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 227 mW power dissipation in the small leadless package format.
