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.

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.
