HMC422MS8 / 422MS8E v03.0710 MIXERS - SINGLE & DOUBLE BALANCED - SMT 10 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 1.2 - 2.6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC422MS8 / HMC422MS8E is ideal for: Integrated LO Amplifier w/ Pdiss <100 mW • MMDS & ISM Conversion Loss / Noise Figure: 8 dB • Wireless Local Loop Low LO Drive: 0 dBm • WirelessLAN Input IP3: +15 dBm • Cellular Infrastructure Single Positive Supply: 3V, 30 mA Functional Diagram General Description The HMC422MS8 & HMC422MS8E are double balanced mixer ICs with integrated LO amplifiers. This mixer can operate as an upconverter or downconverter between 1.2 GHz and 2.6 GHz. With the integrated LO amplifier, the mixer requires an LO drive level of only 0 dBm, and requires only 30mA 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 2 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 10 mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 8 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
