HMC350MS8 / 350MS8E v02.0705 MIXERS - SMT 7 GaAs MMIC HIGH IP3 SINGLEBALANCED MIXER, 0.6 - 1.2 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC350MS8 / HMC350MS8E is ideal for: Conversion Loss: 8.0 dB • Cellular Basestations Input IP3: +27 dBm • Cable Modems Input IP2: +45 dBm • Fixed Wireless Access Systems Input P1dB: +17 dBm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC350MS8 & HMC350MS8E are miniature single balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount packages. The passive GaAs schottky diode mixer implements planar on chip baluns and requires no external components. The mixer can be used as an upconverter, down converter, or modulator. The mixer provides 7.5 dB conversion loss and +25 dBm IIP3 with LO drive levels of +19 dBm at mid-band. The design was optimized for low cost high volume applications where high converter linearity is required. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C LO = +19 dBm, IF = 100 MHz Parameter Units Min. Typ.

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 as shown is available from Hittite upon request.
