400MS8E

The HMC400MS8 & HMC400MS8E are 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 +17dBm. With a 1dB compression of +21 dBm, the RF port  of HMC400MS8 & HMC400MS8E 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 singleended 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 confi gured for low side LO. The HMC400MS8 & HMC400MS8E 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.
