HMC485MS8G / 485MS8GE
HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC MIXER with
INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 1.7 - 2.4 GHz
v03.0507
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
+34 dBm Input IP3
Conversion Loss: 9 dB
Low LO Drive: -2 to +4 dBm
Single Positive Supply: 5V @ 45 mA
Ultra Small MSOP Package: 14.8mm2
Included in the HMC-DK003 Designers Kit
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25°C, LO = 0 dBm, IF = 200 MHz*, Vdd= 5V
Typical Applications
High Dynamic Range Infrastructure:
• GSM, GPRS & EDGE
• CDMA & W-CDMA
• Cable Modem Termination Systems
The HMC485MS8G & HMC485MS8GE are high dy-
namic range passive MMIC mixers with integrated
LO ampli er in plastic surface mount 8 lead Mini
Small Outline Packages (MSOP) covering 1.7 to 2.4
GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of +34 dBm
for down conversion and +27 dBm for up conver-
sion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/CDMA based
UMTS or PCS applications at an LO drive of 0 dBm.
With an input 1 dB compression of +19 dBm, the
RF port will accept a wide range of input signal lev-
els. Conversion loss is 9.2 dB typical. The 50 to 300
MHz IF frequency response will satisfy many UMTS/
PCS transmit or receive frequency plans con gured
for low side LO. The HMC485MS8G(E) input IP3
performance coupled with its high P1dB rivals tradi-
tional active FET mixers while offering a much smaller
14.8mm2 standard IC footprint.

The circuit board used in the  nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should 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
