Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC296MS8 is a low LO drive, high IP3 double-balanced FET mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface
mount MSOP package. This MMIC mixer is constructed of switched GaAs FETs and novel planar
transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be
used as an up or downconverter for 1.1 to 1.7 GHz
applications. The consistent MMIC performance will
improve system operation. The package dimensions
are 0.118” x 0.192” (3.0mm x 4.9mm).

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 exposed paddle 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.
