Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC220AMS8 & HMC220AMS8E are ultra minia-
ture double-balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface
mount packages (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 upconverter, downconverter, bi-phase
(de)modulator, or phase comparator. The consistent
MMIC performance will improve system operation and
assure regulatory compliance.
