General Description
The HMC399MS8 & HMC399MS8E are high dynamic
range passive MMIC mixers in plastic surface mount
8 lead Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP) covering
700 to 1000 MHz. Excellent input IP3 performance
of +35 dBm for down conversion and +32 dBm
for up conversion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/
CDMA based cellular applications at an LO drive
of +17 dBm. With a 1 dB compression of +23 dBm,
the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal
levels. Conversion loss is 8.5 dB typical and LO
isolations are maintained at 23 to 35 dB. This
miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer
requires only one external inductor to optimize the
LO frequency response. The 50 to 250 MHz IF
frequency response will satisfy many cellular transmit
or receive frequency plans. The HMC399MS8 &
HMC399MS8E 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.
