HMC6505ALC5TR

Overview

The HMC6505ALC5TR is a GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter operating from 5.5 GHz to 8.6 GHz with an LO range of 5 GHz to 11.6 GHz and IF from 0 Hz to 3 GHz. It features 14 dB gain, +22 dBm P1dB, 12 dB noise figure, and +35 dBm OIP3. Powered by 5 V at 125 mA, it dissipates 1.65 W in a CLCC-32 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates quadrature modulation for direct baseband-to-RF conversion
• Includes integrated VGA for precise amplitude control
• Utilizes GaAs pHEMT technology for high linearity

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -R5) against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required reel quantities and tape specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring direct IQ upconversion within the 5.5–8.6 GHz band. Ensure the local oscillator source supports the specified 5–11.6 GHz range and that thermal management can handle the 1.65 W power dissipation in the CLCC-32 package.

Part Context

This device belongs to the HMC6505A series of monolithic microwave integrated circuits. It represents Analog Devices' solution for compact, high-performance upconversion modules utilizing gallium arsenide pseudomorphic HEMT processes for wireless infrastructure applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices documentation for verified cross-reference part numbers. Do not assume functional equivalence with other series without validating pinout, electrical parameters, and thermal requirements.
