HMC554LC3BTR-R5

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC554LC3BTR-R5 is a double-balanced monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within the 11 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range and utilizes GaAs technology. The device features a maximum conversion loss of 11 dB and a noise figure of 8 dB. It is housed in a 12-SMT LC3B-12 package with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Power dissipation is rated at 150 mW, and it is moisture sensitive.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double-balanced mixer architecture for improved signal isolation
• Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) design using GaAs technology
• Surface-mount packaging suitable for automated assembly

RF Mixers Applications

• Up/Down converters for wireless communication systems
• Point-to-point radio links
• Satellite communication receivers
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific lot traceability requirements. Ensure proper electrostatic discharge handling procedures are followed during storage and installation due to moisture sensitivity classification. Review datasheet revisions for any recent manufacturing changes.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring operation between 11 GHz and 20 GHz. Consider the 11 dB maximum conversion loss and 8 dB noise figure against system link budget requirements. Evaluate the 12-SMT package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Assess thermal management needs given the 150 mW power dissipation rating in high-temperature environments up to 85°C.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC554 series of RF mixers from Analog Devices Inc. It is functionally similar to the HMC554LC3B but supplied in tape and reel format for high-volume surface mount production. The LC3B designation indicates the specific leadless chip carrier package style used for these MMIC devices.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The HMC554LC3B is a direct equivalent available in cut-tape or tray packaging. Verify that the non-reel version meets the same electrical specifications if volume requirements differ.
