HMC400MS8 / 400MS8E v02.0705 HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC MIXER, 1.7 - 2.2 GHz Typical Applications Features High Dynamic Range Infrastructure: Input IP3: +35 dBm • GSM, GPRS & EDGE Conversion Loss: 8.8 dB • CDMA & W-CDMA No External Components • Cable Modem Termination Systems Ultra Small MSOP Package: 14.8mm2 Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit MIXERS - HIGH IP3 - SMT 9 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC400MS8(E) is a high dynamic range passive MMIC mixers in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP) covering 1.7 to 2.2 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +36 dBm for down conversion and +29 dBm for up conversion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/CDMA based UMTS or PCS applications at an LO drive of +17 dBm. With a 1 dB compression of +21 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 8.5dB typical and LO isolations are maintained at 22 to 33 dB. This miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer does not require any external components or bias. The 50 to 300 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy many UMTS/PCS transmit or receive frequency plans configured for low side LO. The HMC400MS8(E) input IP3 performance coupled with its high P1dB rivals traditional active FET mixers while offering a much smaller 14.8mm2 standard IC footprint and no DC bias.
