Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC216MS8 is an ultra miniature double-
balanced FET mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface
mount package (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 opera-
tion and assure regulatory compliance.
