HMC208AMS8 / 208AMS8E v00.0411 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLEBALANCED MIXER, 0.7 - 2.0 GHz MIXERS - DBL-BAL - SMT 9 Typical Applications Features The HMC208AMS8 / HMC208AMS8E is ideal for: Ultra Small Package: MSOP8 • Base Stations Conversion Loss: 9 dB • PCMCIA Transceivers LO / RF Isolation: 24 dB • Cable Modems Input IP3: +17 dBm • Portable Wireless Functional Diagram General Description The HMC208AMS8 & HMC208AMS8E are ultra miniature double-balanced mixers in 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 upconverter, downconverter, biphase (de)modulator, or phase comparator. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance.

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.
