Chelmsford, MA, February 8, 2007 - Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has introduced a new High IP3 Mixer with Integrated LO Amplifier, and two new High Linearity Gain Blocks which are ideal for CATV, Cellular/3G, Broadband, WiMAX and Fixed Wireless applications from DC to 4 GHz. The HMC615LP4(E) is a High IP3 Mixer with Integrated LO Amplifier which is rated from 2.3 to 4.0 GHz, and exhibits +35 dBm input IP3 with only +4 dBm LO drive. The passive mixer topology is ideal for both upconversion and downconversion applications, and supports IF bandwidths of up to 1 GHz. The HMC615LP4(E) requires no external baluns or matching components, and is housed in a RoHS compliant 4x4 mm QFN “E” SMT package. The HMC615LP4(E) shares a common pinout with the HMC215LP4(E), HMC551LP4(E) and the HMC552LP4(E) family of mixers with integrated LO amplifiers which operate from 0.8 to 4.0 GHz. Also announced are the HMC580ST89(E) and the HMC589ST89(E) High Linearity Gain blocks. The HMC580ST89(E) is rated from DC to 1.0 GHz, and provides up to 22 dB of gain, and +37 dBm of output IP3, while the HMC589ST89(E) is rated from DC to 4.0 GHz, with up to 21 dB of gain, and +33 dBm of output IP3. These versatile gain blocks feature integrated bias control circuitry which allows operation from a single +5V supply. The HMC580ST89(E) and the HMC589ST89(E) are fully matched to 50 Ohms making them ideal for use as cascadable gain stages in IF, RF, and PA pre-driver applications in CATV, Cellular/3G, WiBro, WiMAX, and Fixed Wireless systems. The HMC580ST89(E) and the HMC589ST89(E) are housed in industry standard and RoHS compliant SOT89 “E” SMT packages, and share a common pinout within Hittite’s broad line of SiGe and InGaP HBT gain block amplifiers. Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company’s e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.
