Description
The HPMX-2006 upconverter/
amplifier IC is designed to meet
the needs of cellular and PCS
telephone and wireless LAN
applications.
The IC consists of a Gilbert Cell
mixer optimized for upconversion
followed by a post-amplifier. The
mixer and amplifier are independent allowing the insertion of a
sideband filter between the two.

The mixer is double balanced.
Both LO and IF inputs may be run
either single-endedly, or in
differential mode to reduce LO
leakage. LO inputs are matched
near 50 Ω; high impedance IF
inputs allow the mixer to be used
as a BPSK modulator. An integrated transformer on the mixer
RF port creates a single-ended,
matched to 50 Ω output at
1900␣ MHz, and also reduces
common mode noise.
7-66
The amplifier features a single-
ended 50 Ω match on the input
port. The open collector output is
easily matched with a simple
2␣ element network, providing
flexible use and good power
added efficiency. The amplifier
can be disabled to allow use of the
mixer alone, reducing the current
draw to around 15 mA. The entire
IC can be put into a standby mode
reducing current consumption to
under 40 µA from a 3V source.
The SSOP-16 package insures that
the IC occupies a minimal amount
of printed circuit board space.
The HPMX-2006 is manufactured
using Hewlett-Packard’s 30 GHz
ISOSAT-II process which combines stepper lithography, self
alignment, ion implantation
techniques and gold metalization
to produce state-of-the-art RFICs.
