General Description
The HMC213MS8 is an ultra miniature double-
balanced mixer in an 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 up or
downconverter, bi-phase (de)modulator, or
phase comparator for 1900, 2400, 3500 MHz
applications. It is especially suited for miniature
basestations, PCMCIA transceivers, and WLL
applications because of its high dynamic input
signal range, small size, and zero DC bias
requirement. The consistent MMIC performance
will improve system operation and assure regu-
latory compliance. The MSOP8 package is the
smallest footprint available for a complete double-
balanced mixer, 0.118” x 0.190” (3.0mm x
4.9mm). At a height of 0.040” (1.0mm) this is the
thinnest
mixer package available today.
