General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC310MS8G & HMC310MS8GE are multi-
function RFICs that incorporates a power ampli er
(PA) and low noise ampli er (LNA) with a transmit/
receive switch. These RFICs offer 15 dB gain and +5
dBm P1dB in the transmit mode and 13 dB of gain
with an overall noise gure of 3 dB when in receive
mode. Transmit and receive performance levels have
been selected to meet the BLUETOOTH Class 2 & 3
requirements when used in conjunction with 2.4 GHz
ASICs such as National Semiconductor’s LMX3162.
This low current and low cost transceiver requires no
external circuitry to operate the ampli er power down
features, and is available in the industry standard
MSOP8G package, which is 0.118” x 0.190” (3.0mm
x 4.9mm).
Tx Gain: 15 dB, Rx Gain: 13 dB
Tx 1 dB Compression Point: 5 dBm
Rx Noise Figure: 3 dB @ 2.4 GHz
Single Positive Supply: +3V
No External Matching Required
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, Vdd = +3V

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 backside ground slug 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.
