This mixer can operate as an upconverter or downconverter between 0.6 GHz and 1.3 GHz. With the integrated LO amplifier, the mixer requires an LO drive level of only 0 dBm, and requires only 15mA from a single positive +3V rail. The mixer has 8 dB of conversion loss, an input P1dB of +8 dBm and an input third order intercept point of +15 dBm at 1.3 GHz.

One external RF bypass capacitor (10,000 pF) is required. 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/sink more than 18 mA of current or die nonfunction and possible die failure will result. 8 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 0.6 - 1.3 GHz Interface Schematic Application Circuit 9 - 282 C1 10,000 pF L1 4.7 nH For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC423MS8 / 423MS8E v02.0705 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 0.6 - 1.3 GHz Evaluation PCB MIXERS - DBL-BAL - SMT 9 List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 105190 [1] Item Description J1 - J3 PCB Mount SMA Connector, Johnson J4, J5 DC Pin C1 10k pF Chip Capacitor, 0603 Pkg.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads 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.
