HMC218BMS8GE v01.0616 MIXERS - DOUBLE-BALANCED - SMT GaAs MMIC DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER 3.5 - 8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC218BMS8GE is ideal for: Passive Double-Balanced Topology • Base stations, Repeaters & Access Points Input IP3: +17 dBm • WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB • Portables & Subscribers LO to RF Isolation: 38 dB • PLMR, Public Safety & Telematics LO to IF Isolation: 32 dB Up-converter & Down-converter Applications Functional Diagram General Description The HMC218BMS8GE is an ultra miniature double-balanced mixers in an 8 lead plastic surface mount packages (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be used as an up-converter, down-converter, bi-phase modulator / demodulator, or phase comparator. This mixer performs well when used as a down-converter from 3.5 to 8 GHz and as an up-converter from 4.5 to 8 GHz. The low conversion loss, high isolation and wide IF bandwidth make this mixer ideal for a variety of Rx and Tx frequency plans.

Pins are not connected internally. However, all data shown herein was measured with theses pins connected to RF/DC ground internally. 5 IF This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 8 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
