RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package configuration when ordering, as the HMC520 series includes both chip and leadless SMT options. Confirm that the SX suffix corresponds to the die variant required for your assembly process. Ensure compatibility with existing RF circuit designs operating within the specified 6GHz to 10GHz bandwidth before procurement.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select the HMC520-SX for applications requiring dual-mixer I/Q processing in a small form factor. This component is suitable for systems needing image rejection or single-sideband generation without external complex filtering networks. Consider the die package requirements for surface mount integration versus other available packaging options in the series.
