HMC773ALC3BTR-R5

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC773ALC3BTR-R5 is a GaAs MMIC fundamental mixer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 6 GHz to 26 GHz. The device is designed for VSAT applications and utilizes surface mount technology. It is housed in a 12-CLCC package with dimensions of 2.9x2.9 mm, featuring a bare die configuration. This component functions as a single RF mixer suitable for up-conversion and down-conversion tasks.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for high-frequency performance
• Designed specifically for VSAT communication systems
• Supports both up-conversion and down-conversion operations

RF Mixers Applications

• VSAT satellite communication links
• RF signal up-conversion stages
• RF signal down-conversion stages

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R5' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm reel specifications and tape-and-reel parameters. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 12-CLCC package. Confirm that the active status aligns with current manufacturing schedules, as availability may vary based on regional distribution channels.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fundamental mixer is required for frequencies between 6 GHz and 26 GHz. It is appropriate for designs needing a compact 12-CLCC footprint. Consider the GaAs material properties for noise and linearity requirements typical in VSAT environments. Validate that the surface mount installation type matches the assembly capabilities.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC773 family of RF mixers from Analog Devices. It shares the core functional specifications with variants like HMC773LC3BTR but differs in packaging and supply chain details. The HMC773 series is generally targeted at broadband microwave applications requiring reliable mixing performance across multi-octave bandwidths.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

HMC773ALC3B is listed as a direct substitute. Verify if the non-R5 suffix variant meets the same reel and tape requirements for automated assembly processes.
