HMC216MS8 / HMC216MS8E

The HMC216MS8(E) is an ultra miniature double-balanced FET mixers in an 8 lead plastic surface mount package (MSOP). This MMIC mixer is constructed of switched GaAs FETs and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip. In addition to an LO drive of +3 to +13 dBm, a gate voltage of Vgg = -0.9 to -1.6 Vdc is required. The HMC216MS8(E) can be used as an upconverter or downconverter for 1900 or 2400 MHz applications. The consistent MMIC performance will improve system operation and assure regulatory compliance.
