Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC488MS8G(E) is an ultra miniature doublebalanced mixer with integrated LO amplifier in an 8 lead plastic SMT MSOP8-G covering 4 - 7 GHz. This passive MMIC mixer integrates a GaAs Schottky diode quad, transformer baluns and a LO buffer on a single chip yielding a low conversion loss of 7 dB coupled with an input IP3 of +15 dBm. The LO buffer amplifier can be driven from 0 to +6 dBm and requires a single supply of +5V @ 46 mA. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter or bi-phase (de)modulator for a variety of point-to-point/ multipoint, VSAT, telemetry or broadband WLAN applications.

The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
