HMC399MS8 / 399MS8E v03.0705 HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC MIXER, 700 - 1000 MHz Designer’s Kit Available Typical Applications High Dynamic Range Infrastructure: • GSM, GPRS & EDGE Features +35 dBm Input IP3 Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB Low External Part Count Ultra Small MSOP8 Package: 14.8 mm2 Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit 7 MIXERS - SMT • CDMA & W-CDMA • Cable Modem Termination Systems Functional Diagram General Description The HMC399MS8 & HMC399MS8E are high dynamic range passive MMIC mixers in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP) covering 700 to 1000 MHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +35 dBm for down conversion and +32 dBm for up conversion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/ CDMA based cellular applications at an LO drive of +17 dBm. With a 1 dB compression of +23 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 8.5 dB typical and LO isolations are maintained at 23 to 35 dB. This miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer requires only one external inductor to optimize the LO frequency response. The 50 to 250 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy many cellular transmit or receive frequency plans. The HMC399MS8 & HMC399MS8E 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.
