General Description
The HMC216MS8 is an ultra miniature doublebalanced FET mixer 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 device 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.

FEATUREs
    IP3 (Input): +25 dBm @ +11 dBm LO
    LO Range = +3 to +11 dBm
    Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB
    LO / RF Isolation: 32 dB

Typical Applications
