HMC216MS8 / 216MS8E v02.0705 7 GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLE-BALANCED FET MIXER, 1.3 - 2.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC216MS8 / HMC216MS8E is ideal for: IP3 (Input): +25 dBm @ +11 dBm LO • Base Stations LO Range = +3 to +11 dBm • WirelessLAN Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB • PCMCIA LO / RF Isolation: 32 dB MIXERS - SMT • Portable Wireless Functional Diagram General Description The HMC216MS8 & HMC216MS8E are ultra miniature double-balanced FET mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount packages (MSOP). This MMIC mixer is constructed of switched GaAs FETs and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. In addition to an LO drive of +3 to +13 dBm, a gate voltage of Vgg = -0.9 to -1.6 Vdc is required. The device can be used as an upconverter or downconverter for 1900 or 2400 MHz applications. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, As a Function of LO Drive, Vgg = -1.2 Vdc LO = +11 dBm LO = +7 dBm LO = +3 dBm Parameter Units Min.
