HPMX-5001

The HPMX-5001 Upconverter/ Downconverter provides RF system designers with all of the necessary features to perform an RF-to-IF downconversion for a receive path, as well as an IF-to- RF upconversion for transmit mode.

Designed to meet the unique needs of portable applications, the HPMX-5001 combines the qualities of flexible chip biasing, low power consumption, and true 2.7 V minimum supply voltage operation to provide superior performance and battery life. By incorporating the active elements of the VCO on-chip, as well as a 32/33 dual-modulus prescaler, overall system component count and costs are decreased. The 32-TQFP package insures that this high level of integration occupies a small amount of printed circuit board space.

The HPMX-5001 can be used in either dual-conversion systems (with the HPMX-5002 IF Demodulator/Modulator) or single-conversion systems. It is manufactured using Hewlett-Packard's HP-25 Silicon Bipolar Process with 25 GHz f T and 30 GHz f_Max.
