HMC6787ALC5ATY-R5

Overview

The HMC6787ALC5ATY-R5 is an I/Q upconverter mixer IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within the 37 GHz to 40 GHz frequency range and utilizes GaAs MMIC technology. The component is housed in a 16-CSMT (5x5) surface-mount package. It functions as a monolithic microwave integrated circuit designed for high-frequency signal conversion applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated I/Q upconversion capability for precise signal modulation
• Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) construction using Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
• Designed for operation in the Ka-band spectrum

Applications

• Radar systems
• Point-to-point wireless communication links
• Satellite communication terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with Analog Devices or authorized distributors, as supply may be limited. Confirm that the specific suffix 'TY' matches the required tape and reel packaging configuration for your assembly line. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and lead-free requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated I/Q upconverter is required for the 37-40 GHz band. Consider the 16-CSMT package size for board space constraints. Verify that the system LO drive levels and IF input requirements align with the datasheet specifications for optimal performance.

Part Context

This device belongs to the HMC6787 series of RF mixers from Analog Devices. It is part of the broader portfolio of GaAs MMICs designed for high-frequency wireless infrastructure. The series typically includes variants such as HMC6787ALC5ATR-R5, differing primarily in packaging or reel specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for HMC6787ALC5ATR-R5 if different reel packaging is acceptable. Evaluate HMC6789BLC5ATR-R5 for downconversion needs in the same frequency range. Consult official substitution guides for pin-compatible alternatives.
