ADI HMC129ALC4

The HMC129ALC4 is a general-purpose, double-balanced monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer housed in a leadless Pb -free, RoHS compliant LCC package, that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 GHz to 8 GHz band. The HMC129ALC4 is ideally suited for applications where small size, no dc bias, and consistent IC performance are required. This mixer can operate over a wide LO drive input of 9 dBm to 18 dBm. It performs equally well as a biphase modulator or demodulator. The HMC129ALC4 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
