HMC175MS8 / 175MS8E v02.0705 7 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLEBALANCED MIXER, 1.7 - 4.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC175MS8 / HMC175MS8E is ideal for: Ultra Small Package: MSOP8 • Mini-Base Stations Conversion Loss: 8 dB • Portable Wireless LO / IF Isolation: 32 dB • PCMCIA LO / RF Isolation: 30 dB MIXERS - SMT IP3 (Input): +18 dBm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC175MS8 & HMC175MS8E are miniature double-balanced mixers in 8-lead plastic surface mount Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP). The device can be used as an upconverter or downconverter. The mixer provides exceptional isolation and Intermodulation performance for applications in high signal density environments. This device can also be used as a biphase modulator or demodulator. The MSOP8 is the smallest footprint available for a complete double-balanced mixer (0.118” x 0.190” x 0.040”).

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.
