PRODUCTS 47 High linearity up/down converter MMICs range of seven devices cover 700 MHz to 3.9 GHz These four devices feature singled-ended LO and RF ports, while the differential IF ports support intermediate frequencies from DC to 500 MHz. The compact converters are optimized for low side LO frequency plans, and exhibit conversion loss as low as 7 dB with up to 30 dB of LO to RF and LO to IF isolation. They are ideal for upconversion and downconversion applications in GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, WiBro and WiMAX. Also released are the HMC686LP4E, HMC687LP4E, and HMC689LP4E SiGe BiCMOS mixer RFICs which are rated from 0.7 to 1.0 GHz, 1.7 to 2.2 GHz, and 2.0 to 2.7 GHz respectively. These three converters are optimized for high side LO applications, and offer similar performance to their low side LO counterparts. All seven of these BiCMOS MMIC mixers are housed in footprint compatible, RoHS compliant 4x4 mm QFN SMT packages and operate from a single +5V supply. Samples and evaluation PC boards are available. Exhibiting at EuMW 2008: Stand 515 www.mwee.com/210603163 Hittite Microwave Corporation has introduced seven SiGe BiCMOS MMIC mixer RFICs which are ideal for upconversion and downconversion applications in broadband, cellular/3G, WiMAX/4G and ﬁxed wireless systems from 700 MHz to 3.9 GHz. The HMC684LP4E, HMC685LP4E, HMC688LP4E and HMC666LP4E are SiGe BiCMOS mixer RFICs which are rated from 0.7 to 1.0 GHz, 1.7 to 2.2 GHz, 2.0 to 2.7 GHz and 3.1 to 3.9 GHz, respectively. Each product consists of a high linearity double-balanced mixer core and a matched local oscillator (LO) ampliﬁer which combine to deliver up to +35 dBm input IP3 with only 0 dBm of input LO drive.

Fully integrated WiMAX Femtocell SoC enables vendors to shatter the $100 barrier DesignArt Networks (DAN), a fabless semiconductor company, has unveiled the DAN2200 WiMAX femtocell SoC, which claims to enable equipment vendors to shatter the unit price barrier of $100. Based on this SoC, complete femtocell designs consuming less than 5 W of total power, while providing plenty of spare processing power to run embedded high-capacity networking and media streaming applications are possible. Such femtocells can be easily integrated with home gateway equipment to facilitate the delivery of high-deﬁnition media to ﬁxed and mobile wireless broadband devices. This, in conjunction with low-cost will result in faster adoption of WiMAX femtocells in residential, business, and hot-spot applications. Certiﬁed for IEEE 802.16e Wave 2, the DAN2200 delivers non-blocking WiMAX performance for up to 25 simultaneous subscribers. It is the second SoC in a family of WiMAX infrastructure products from DesignArt Networks. Based on the company’s open 4G SoC platform, the software-centric multi-core architecture features many advanced and patented capabilities, including plugand-play installation, robust embedded synchronization options and fully automated installation and operation of WiMAX femtocell clusters. According to the company, the industry is gearing up for extensive deployment of femtocells in mobile broadband networks but the lack of cost-effective solutions is slowing down initial adoption cycles. The DAN2200 SoC is speciﬁcally designed to accelerate this process, overcoming critical barriers regarding cost, size and power consumption of WiMAX femtocells. It enables deployment of dense femtocell clusters, providing advanced self-organizing network mechanisms, generally eliminating interference between femtocells, as well as with the outdoor RAN infrastructure. www.mwee.com/210603137 To find out more, call (800) 344-2412 or visit www.trilithic.com.
