The HMC496LP3 & HMC496LP3E are low noise Wideband Direct Quadrature Modulator RFICs which are ideal for digital modulation applications from 4.0 - 7.0 GHz including; WLL, U-NII, WLAN & microwave radios. Housed in a compact 3x3 mm (LP3) SMT QFN package, the RFIC requires minimal ex-ternal components & provides a low cost alternative to more complicated double upconversion architectures. The RF output port is matched to 50 Ohms with no external components. The LO requires -3 to +6 dBm and can be driven in either differential or singleended mode while the Baseband inputs will support modulation inputs from DC - 250 MHz typical. This device is optimized for a supply voltage of +3.0V@ 93 mA and will provide stable performance over a +2.7V to +3.3V range.
