Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC400MS8 is a high dynamic range passive
MMIC mixer in a plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini
Small Outline Package (MSOP) covering 1.7 to 2.2
GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +36 dBm
for down conversion and +29 dBm for up conversion
is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/CDMA based UMTS
or PCS applications at an LO drive of +17dBm.
With a 1dB compression of +21 dBm, the RF port
will accept a wide range of input signal levels.
Conversion loss is 8.5dB typical and LO isolations
are maintained at 22 to 33 dB.This miniature single-
ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer does not require
any external components or bias.The 50 to 300 MHz
IF frequency response will satisfy many UMTS/PCS
transmitorreceivefrequencyplansconfiguredforlow
side LO. The HMC400MS8 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.
