HMC572-SX

Overview

The HMC572-SX is a GaAs MMIC I/Q receiver chip designed for radar applications in the 24 to 28 GHz frequency range. It features a conversion gain of 8 dB and an image rejection of 20 dB. The device provides 40 dB isolation between the LO and RF ports, with a noise figure of 3.5 dB and an input IP3 of +5 dBm. The die size measures 2.33 x 2.37 x 0.10 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated I/Q receiver architecture for direct downconversion
• High LO to RF isolation ensuring signal integrity
• Optimized for radar system performance

Applications

• Radar systems
• Wireless communication links
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SX' indicates the bare die configuration rather than a packaged component. Confirm compatibility with your substrate design and thermal management requirements. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation for the semiconductor material. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the exposed die structure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-frequency I/Q receiver is required for radar or wireless applications. Consider the 24-28 GHz operational range and the need for low noise figure. Evaluate the bare die format against available packaging options if assembly constraints differ. Compare the 8 dB gain and +5 dBm IP3 against system link budget requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC572 series of up/down converters from Analog Devices. It utilizes GaAs technology for high-frequency performance. The SX suffix typically denotes a die-level product intended for custom packaging or integration into larger modules by the end user.

Replacement Considerations

HMC572LC5 is a packaged equivalent offering similar electrical characteristics in an LFCSP-32 package.
