Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC129LC4 is a general purpose double-bal-
anced MMIC mixer housed in a leadless “PB Free”
RoHS-Compliant SMT package which can be used as
an upconverter or downconverter in the 4 to 8 GHz
band. The HMC129LC4 is ideally suited for applica-
tions where small size, no DC bias, and consistent
IC performance are required. This mixer can operate
over a wide LO drive input of +9 to +15 dBm. It per-
forms equally well as a Bi-Phase modulator or demod-
ulator. The HMC129LC4 eliminates the need for wire
bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing
techniques.
