General Description
The HMC400MS8(E) is a high dynamic range passive
MMIC mixers in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini
Small Outline Packages (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 +17 dBm. With a
1 dB 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 transmit
or receive frequency plans configured for low side
LO. The HMC400MS8(E) 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.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25°C, LO = +17 dBm, IF = 200 MHz*
