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 2 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 7 RF Port This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 10.0 - 15.0 GHz Interface Schematic 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 v00.1101 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC411MS8G GaAs MMIC SINGLE-BALANCED MIXER, 10.0 - 15.0 GHz Evaluation PCB MIXERS - SMT 12 List of Material Item Description J1 - J2 PC Mount SMA RF Connector, SRI J3 PC Mount SMA Connector, Johnson U1 HMC411MS8G PCB* 101650 Evaluation Board * Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350 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.
