HMC400MS8 / 400MS8E
HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC
MIXER, 1.7 - 2.2 GHz
v02.0705
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Input IP3: +35 dBm
Conversion Loss: 8.8 dB
No External Components
Ultra Small MSOP Package: 14.8mm2
Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25°C, LO = +17 dBm, IF = 200 MHz*
Typical Applications
High Dynamic Range Infrastructure:
• GSM, GPRS & EDGE
• CDMA & W-CDMA
• Cable Modem Termination Systems
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 con gured 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.

Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1LO
This pin is AC coupled & matched to 50 Ohms
from 1.4 to 2.2 GHz. Blocking capacitors are required
if line potential is not equal to 0V.
2, 4 N/C Not connected.
3, 6, 7 GND This pin must be connected to RF ground.
5IF Port
This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to DC this port should be DC blocked externally
using a series capacitor. Choose value of capacitor to pass
IF frequency desired. For operation to DC, this pin must
not sink/source more than 40 mA of current or failure may
result.
8RF Port This pin is DC coupled & matched to 50 Ohm
from 1.7 to 2.2 GHz

PCB [2] 101828 Eval Board
[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB
[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the  nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-
nected 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.
