General Description
SPI controlled interface
32 - lead 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP package
The HMC8200LP5ME is a highly integrated
Intermediate Frequency Transmitter chip that
converts the industry standard 300 MHz to 400 MHz
intermediate frequency input signal to an 800 MHz to
4000 MHz single ended radio frequency signal at its
output. The Intermediate Frequency Transmitter chip
is housed in a compact 5 mm x 5 mm LFCSP package
and supports complex modulations up to 1024 QAM.
The HMC8200LP5ME simultaneously reduces the
design complexity of traditional microwave radios
while realizing significant size and cost improvements.
With intermediate frequency input power ranges from
−31 dBm to +4 dBm, the HMC8200LP5ME provides
35 dB of digital gain control in 1 dB steps while an
analog voltage gain amplifier (VGA) continuously
controls the transmitter output power from -20 dBm
to +5 dBm. The device also features three integrated
power detectors. The first detector (LOG_IF) can be
utilized to monitor the intermediate frequency input
power. The second detector (SLPD_OUT) is a square
law power detector that monitors the power going into
the mixer. The third power detector (LOG_RF) is used
to monitor the output power, which can be used for fine
output power adjustment.

v01.0216
Intermediate Frequency Transmitter
800 MHz - 4000 MHz
TRANSCEIVERS - Tx - SMT
Theory of Operation
The HMC8200LP5ME is a highly integrated intermediate frequency transmitter chip that converts intermediate
frequency (IF) to a single ended radio frequency (RF) signal at its output. The intermediate frequency (IF) can supplied
to the HMC8200LP5ME singled ended or through the baseband differential inputs.
The single ended input of the HMC8200LP5ME utilizes an input digital gain amplifier (DGA) is controlled via SPI,
which feeds the intermediate frequency (IF) signals to an image reject mixer. At the input of the device before the
digital amplifier (DGA) an intermediate log power detector can be used to monitor input power levels into the device.
A square law detector follows the digital gain amplifier to monitor the power entering the mixer. Please refer to the
Register Array Assignments for more information regarding the digital gain amplifier control (DGA). The baseband
differential inputs of the HMC8200LP5ME feed the intermediate frequency directly into the image reject mixer. It is
recommended while using the single ended input that the baseband differential inputs are left not connected. The
local oscillator port can either be driven single ended through LON or differentially through the combination of LON
and LOP. If the local oscillator port is driven differential the LO to RF rejection will improve.
The intermediate frequency (IF) is then converted to radio frequency (RF), which is then followed by an amplifier. The
amplified radio frequency (RF) signal is then fed off chip to a low pass filter. The external filter path feeds back into a
variable gain amplifier (VGA) that is voltage controlled. The output of the variable gain amplifier (VGA) drives a final
amplifier that is the output of the device. A radio frequency (RF) log detector is connected to the output of the final
amplifier to monitor the output power of the HMC8200LP5ME.
Register Array Assignments and Serial Interface
The register arrays for the HMC8200LP5ME are organized into 7 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 3.3V 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.
