HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC MIXER with
INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 0.7 - 1.5 GHz
v01.0710
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
+33 dBm Input IP3
Conversion Loss: 9 dB
Low LO Drive: -4 to +4 dBm
Single Positive Supply: 5V @ 50 mA
Ultra Small MSOP Package: 14.8mm2
Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25°C, LO = 0 dBm, IF = 70 MHz*, Vdd= 5V
Typical Applications
The HMC483MS8G / HMC483MS8GE is ideal for:
• Cellular/3G
• GSM, GPRS & EDGE
• CDMA & WCDMA
• Cable Modem Termination Systems
The HMC483MS8G & HMC483MS8GE are high dy-
namic range passive MMIC mixers with integrated
LO ampli ers in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini
Small Outline Packages (MSOP) covering 0.7 to 1.5
GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +33 dBm
for down conversion and +30 dBm for up conversion
is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/CDMA applications
at an LO drive of 0 dBm. With an input 1 dB compression
of +24 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of
input signal levels. Conversion loss is 9 dB typical.
The DC to 350 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy
GSM/CDMA transmit or receive frequency plans
con gured for low side LO. The HMC483MS8G(E)
are pin for pin compatible with the HMC485MS8G(E)
which are 1.7 - 2.2 GHz mixers with LO ampli ers.

Not connected. This pin may be connected to RF/DC
ground without affecting performance.
3, 6, 7 GND This pin and the ground paddle must be
connected to RF ground.
4Vdd Power supply for LO ampli er.
An external RF bypass capacitor is required.
5IF
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.

The circuit board used in the 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 Hit-
tite upon request.
