General Description
The HMC8100LP6JE is a highly integrated IF receiver
chip that converts radio frequency (RF) input signals
ranging from 800 MHz to 4000 MHz down to a single
ended intermediate frequency (IF) signal of 140 MHz at
its output. The IF receiver chip is housed in a compact
6 mm x 6 mm LFCSP package and supports complex
modulations up to 1024 QAM. The HMC8100LP6JE
device includes two VGAs, three power detectors, a
programmable AGC block, and selected integrated
bandpass filters with 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz,
and 112 MHz bandwidth. The HMC8100LP6JE also
supports baseband IQ interfaces after the mixer so that
the chips can be used in the full ODU configuration.
The HMC8100LP6JE supports all of the standard
microwave frequency bands from 6 to 42 GHz.

HMC8100LP6JE
v00.0416
Intermediate Frequency Receiver
800 MHz - 4000 MHz
The HMC8100LP6JE is a highly integrated IF receiver chip that converts radio frequency (RF) to a single ended
intermediate frequency (IF) signal at its output. The HMC8100LP6JE’s internal active gain circuit (AGC) is able to
actively level the output power at the intermediate frequency (IF) output via SPI control. The HMC8100LP6JE’s gain
control can be control externally as alternative option via the VC_VGA_RF and VC_VGA_IF pins with voltages ranging
from 3.3 V (minimum attenuation) to 0 V (maximum attenuation).
The HMC8100LP6JE utilizes an input low noise amplifier (LNA) cascaded with a variable gain amplifier (VGA), which
can either be controlled by the internal active gain control circuit (AGC) or external voltages, that feeds the radio
frequency (RF) signals to an image reject mixer. The local oscillator port can either be driven single ended through
LON or differentially through the combination of LON and LOP.
The radio frequency (RF) is then converted to intermediate frequencies (IF), which can either be feed off chip
via baseband differential outputs or feed on chip into a programmable band pass filter. It is recommended during
intermediate frequencies (IF) mode operation that the baseband outputs are left unconnected. The programmable
bandpass filter on chip has 4 programmable bandwidths (14, 28, 56 and 112 MHz). The programmable bandpass
filter has the capability to adjust the center frequency. From the factory, a filter calibration is conducted and the center
frequency of the filter is set to 140 MHz. This calibration can be recalled via SPI control or the customer can adjust the
center frequency, but the calibration value will need to be stored off ship. Please see Array Assignments for further
details. An external filter option can be utilized to allow the customer to select other filter bandwidths/responses that
are not available on chip. The external filter path coming from the image reject mixer feeds into an amplifier that has
differential outputs. The output of the external filter can be fed back into the chip, which is then connected to another
amplifier.
RECEIVERS - TX - SMT
Theory of Operation
A variable gain amplifier (VGA) follows immediately after the bandpass filter. The intermediate frequency (IF) variable
gain amplifier (VGA), which can either be controlled by the internal active gain circuit (AGC) or external voltages. The
output of the variable gain amplifier is the output of the device.
Register Array Assignments and Serial Interface
The register arrays for the HMC8100LP6JE are organized into 9 registers of 16 bits. Using the serial interface, the
arrays are written or read one row at a time as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 1 shows the sequence of signals
on the ENABLE (SEN), CLK, and DATA (SDI) lines to write one 16-bit array of data to a single register. The ENABLE
line goes low, the first of 24 data bits is placed on the DATA line and the data is sampled-in on the rising edge of the
clock. The DATA line should remain stable for at least 2 ns after the rising edge of CLK. The Device will support a
serial interface running up to 10 MHz, the interface is 3.3 V CMOS logic.
A write operation requires 24 data bits and 24 clock pulses, as shown in Figure 1. The 24 data bits contain the 3-bit
chip address, followed by the 5-bit register array number, and finally the 16-bit register data. After the 24th clock
pulses of the write operation, the ENABLE line returns high to load the register array on the IC.
A read operation requires 24 data bits and 48 clock pulses, as shown in figure 2. For every register read operation
you must first write to register 7. The data written should contain the 3-bit chip address, followed by the 5-bit register
number for register 7, and finally the 5-bit number of the register to be read. The remaining 11 bits should be logic
zeros. When the read operation is initiated the data is available on the Data Output (SDO) pin.
Read Example:
If reading register 2, the following 24 bits should be written to initiate the read operation.

Chip Address (3 bits)
Register 7 Address (5 bits)
