General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Ultra Small Package: MSOP8
Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB
LO / RF Isolation: 25 dB
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C, As a Function of LO Drive
Typical Applications
The HMC219AMS8 / HMC219AMS8E is ideal for:
• UNII & HiperLAN
• ISM
• Microwave Radios
The HMC219AMS8 & HMC219AMS8E are ultra minia-
ture double-balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface
mount packages (MSOP). This passive MMIC mixer
is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel
planar transformer baluns on the chip. The device can
be used as an upconverter, downconverter, bi-phase
(de)modulator, or phase comparator. The consistent
MMIC performance will improve system operation and
assure regulatory compliance.

The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 Ohm impedance while the pack-
age ground leads should be connected directly
to the ground plane similar to that shown. A suf-
cient 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.
