General Description
Functional Diagram
The HMC-XDH158 is a monolithic X4 Active Fre-
quency Multiplier which utilizes GaAs High Electron
Mobility Transistor (HEMT) technology and exhib-
its low conversion loss and high Fo isolation. This
wideband multiplier is ideal for use in LO multiplier
chains for high capacity and SATCOM radios yield-
ing reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. All
bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized
and the HEMT devices are fully passivated for reliable
operation. The HMC-XDH158 X4 Active Frequency
Multiplier MMIC is compatible with conventional die
attach methods, as well as thermocompression and
thermosonic wire bonding, making it ideal for MCM
and hybrid microcircuit applications. All data shown
herein is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environ-
ment and contacted with RF probes.
