HMC6505LC5TR

Overview

The HMC6505LC5TR is a GaAs MMIC I/Q upconverter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a radio frequency range of 5.5 GHz to 8.6 GHz, with an intermediate frequency span from 0 Hz to 3 GHz and a local oscillator frequency range of 5 GHz to 11.6 GHz. The device provides a gain of 14 dB, a P1dB compression point of 22 dBm, and an OIP3 of 35 dBm. It features a noise figure of 12 dB and dissipates 1.65 W of power. Powered by a 5 V supply drawing 125 mA, it functions between -40 C and +85 C in a CLCC-32 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates quadrature modulation for direct upconversion of baseband signals to RF frequencies
• Utilizes Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit technology for high performance
• Provides single-chip solution combining mixer and amplifier stages to reduce board space

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio systems
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Wireless backhaul infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LC5 against the official datasheet to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure the component matches the required RoHS compliance status for your region. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm that the reel packaging meets storage and handling requirements for moisture-sensitive devices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring direct I/Q upconversion in the 5.5 to 8.6 GHz band. Evaluate the 12 dB noise figure and 35 dBm OIP3 against system linearity and sensitivity budgets. Consider the 1.65 W power dissipation for adequate thermal management within the CLCC-32 package. Compare against lower-frequency alternatives if the application does not require Ka-band operation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the HMC6505A series of upconverters. It is functionally similar to the HMC925LC5TR-R5 but utilizes a different CLCC-32 package compared to the LFCSP-32 used in the HMC925 variant. Both are GaAs MMICs designed for wireless RF applications.
