HMC402MS8 / 402MS8E
HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC
MIXER, 1.8 - 2.2 GHz
v02.0705
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Input IP3: +31 dBm
High Side LO
Ultra Small MSOP8 Package: 14.8mm2
No External Components
Included in the HMC-DK002 Designer’s Kit
Electrical Speci cations, TA =25 °C, LO = +17 dBm, IF = 300 MHz*
Typical Applications
The HMC402MS8 & HMC402MS8E are high dynamic
range passive MMIC mixers in plastic surface mount
8 lead Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP) cover-
ing 1.8 to 2.2 GHz. Excellent input IP3 performance
of +31 dBm for down conversion and +27 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 will accept a wide range of input signal levels.
Conversion loss is 8.5dB typical and LO isolations are
maintained at 24 to 30 dB. This miniature single-end-
ed monolithic GaAs FET mixer does not require any
external components or bias. The broad 50 to
500 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy many
UMTS/PCS transmit or receive frequency plans
con gured for high side LO. The HMC402MS8(E)
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.

Pin Descriptions
Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1LO
This pin is AC coupled & matched to 50 Ohms
from 1.8 to 2.2 GHz. Blocking capacitors are required if line
potential is not equal to 0V.
2, 4 N/C Not connected.
3, 6, 7 GND This pin must be connected to RF ground.
5IF Port
This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to DC this port should be DC blocked externally
using a series capacitor. Choose value of capacitor to
pass IF frequency desired. For operation to DC, this
pin must not sink/source more than 40 mA of current or
failure may result.
8RF Port This pin is DC coupled & matched to 50 Ohms
from 1.8 to 2.2 GHz

[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB
[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
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
Hittite upon request.
