Ultra Small Package: MSOP8
Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB
LO / RF Isolation: 40 dB
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C, As a Function of LO Drive
Typical Applications
The HMC213AMS8(E) is ideal for:
• Base Stations
• PCMCIA Transceivers
• Wireless Local Loop
The HMC213AMS8(E) is a ultra miniature double-
balanced mixer in 8 lead plastic surface mount
package (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, biphase
(de)modulator, or phase comparator. The consistent
MMIC performance will improve system operation and
assure regulatory compliance.

[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines sho-
uld 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.
