HMC663LC3

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC663LC3 is a general-purpose double-balanced mixer IC from Analog Devices Inc., designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 6 GHz to 12 GHz and features high IP3 performance. The device integrates an LO/IF amplifier and is housed in a leadless RoHS-compliant ceramic SMT package, specifically a 16-QFN (3x3 mm) configuration. This component serves as an upconverter or downconverter in microwave systems.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double-balanced mixer architecture providing high isolation
• Integrated local oscillator and intermediate frequency amplifiers
• High third-order intercept point (IP3) for improved linearity
• Leadless RoHS-compliant ceramic surface-mount package

RF Mixers Applications

• General purpose upconversion stages
• General purpose downconversion stages
• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement, as this part may be obsolete or discontinued. Confirm that the 16-QFN package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the 6-12 GHz operating range for your specific application needs. Check for direct replacement alternatives if availability is limited.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-balanced mixer with integrated amplifiers is required for the 6-12 GHz band. Consider its high IP3 characteristics for linear signal conversion. Evaluate the leadless ceramic package suitability for your thermal and mechanical constraints. Compare against other mixers in the Hittite/Analog Devices portfolio for specific gain or noise figure requirements.

RF Mixers Part Context

The HMC663LC3 belongs to the HMC series of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) by Analog Devices Inc. (formerly Hittite Microwave). These components are known for their reliability in high-frequency applications. The LC3 suffix typically denotes the specific leadless ceramic surface-mount package type used in this product line.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements such as updated versions in the same family if this part is obsolete. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence for any substitute components.
