HMC272MS8 / 272MS8E v02.0801 GaAs MMIC SMT SINGLE BALANCED MIXER, 1.7 - 3.0 GHz MIXERS - SMT 7 Typical Applications Features The HMC272MS8 is ideal for: RoHS Compliant Product • Up or Down Converter for PCS Ultra Small Package: MSOP8 • W-CDMA LO / RF Isolation: 32 dB • 2.4 GHz ISM IP3 (Input): +20 dBm • MMDS General Description Functional Diagram The HMC272MS8 & HMC272MS8E are general purpose ultra miniature single balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface mount Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and a novel planar transformer balun on the chip. The RF port is balanced via the MMIC balun while the LO port is connected directly to the diodes. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance.
