HMC213MS8 MICROWAVE CORPORATION GaAs MMIC SMT DOUBLE-BALANCED MIXER 1.5 - 4.5 GHz FEBRUARY 2001 Features General Description ULTRA SMALL PACKAGE: MSOP8 The HMC213MS8 is an ultra miniature doublebalanced mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface mount package (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can be used as an up or downconverter, bi-phase (de)modulator, or phase comparator for 1900, 2400, 3500 MHz applications. It is especially suited for miniature basestations, PCMCIA transceivers, and WLL applications because of its high dynamic input signal range, small size, and zero DC bias requirement. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance. The MSOP8 package is the smallest footprint available for a complete doublebalanced mixer, 0.118” x 0.190” (3.0mm x 4.9mm). At a height of 0.040” (1.0mm) this is the thinnest mixer package available today.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads 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 as shown is available from Hittite upon request.
