HMC310MS8G v01.0401 MICROWAVE CORPORATION BLUETOOTH & 2.4 GHz WLAN GaAs MMIC TRANSCEIVER AMPLIFIERS - SMT 8 Typical Applications Features Transmit & Receive Switch for 2.4 GHz Applications: Tx Gain: 15 dB, Rx Gain: 13 dB • Bluetooth Rx Noise Figure: 3 dB @ 2.4 GHz • HomeRF Single Positive Supply: +3V • WLAN Radios No External Matching Required Functional Diagram General Description Tx 1 dB Compression Point: 5 dBm The HMC310MS8G is a multifunction RFIC that incorporates a power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA) with a transmit/receive switch. The RFIC offers 15 dB gain and +5 dBm P1dB in the transmit mode and 13 dB of gain with an overall noise figure of 3 dB when in receive mode. Transmit and receive performance levels have been selected to meet the BLUETOOTH Class 2 & 3 requirements when used in conjunction with 2.4 GHz ASICs such as National Semiconductor’s LMX3162. This low current and low cost transceiver requires no external circuitry to operate the amplifier power down features, and is available in the industry standard MSOP8G package, which is 0.118” x 0.190” (3.0mm x 4.9mm).

U1 HMC310MS8G Transceiver PCB* Evaluation Board 1.5” x 1.55” The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and backside ground slug should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request. *Circuit Board Material: Roger 4350 8 - 60 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 12 Elizabeth Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com MICROWAVE CORPORATION v01.0401 HMC310MS8G BLUETOOTH & 2.4 GHz WLAN GaAs MMIC TRANSCEIVER Notes: AMPLIFIERS - SMT 8 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 12 Elizabeth Drive, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order Online at www.hittite.com 8 - 61
