HMC773-SX

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC773-SX is a GaAs MMIC fundamental mixer die designed for general-purpose up/down conversion in the 6 GHz to 26 GHz range. It features a maximum conversion loss of 12 dB and a noise figure of 10.5 dB. The local oscillator frequency spans 6 GHz to 16 GHz, while the intermediate frequency covers 0 Hz to 10 GHz. Key linearity metrics include an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 19 dBm and a P1dB compression point of 10.5 dBm. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C with a power dissipation rating of 400 mW.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Passive double-balanced mixer architecture implemented on a bare die substrate
• Supports both upconversion and downconversion applications across a wide microwave frequency band
• Utilizes Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit technology

RF Mixers Applications

• General-purpose RF signal chain up/down conversion
• VSAT communication systems
• Microwave test and measurement equipment

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as supply may be limited or subject to factory special orders. Confirm that the bare die package requires appropriate handling and mounting procedures compatible with surface mount technologies. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any specific shipping restrictions applicable to your region before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-frequency passive mixer solution is required for broad bandwidth applications between 6 GHz and 26 GHz. Consider the bare die format if space constraints necessitate a chip-level integration rather than a packaged IC. Evaluate the 12 dB conversion loss and 10.5 dB noise figure against system sensitivity requirements to ensure adequate signal integrity for the intended up/down conversion tasks.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC773 series of RF mixers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It represents the bare die variant (SX suffix) of the broader family, which also includes packaged versions like the HMC773LC3BTR. The series is characterized by its use in high-performance wireless and microwave applications requiring reliable frequency translation capabilities.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The HMC773ALC3B is listed as a direct substitute option. Verify compatibility regarding package type and electrical specifications before implementation.
