General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Wide IF Frequency Range: DC - 4 GHz
Excellent LO to RF Isolation: 25 dB
Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB
No DC Bias & No External Matching Required
Ideal for Upconversion & Downconversion
MSOP8 SMT Package, 14.8 mm
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C, As a Function of LO Drive
Typical Applications
The HMC220MS8(E) is ideal for:
• VSAT & Mobile SatCom Terminals
• Microwave & Military Radio
• Wireless Backhaul Equipment
• Automotive, DSRC and IVHS
• Military RADAR, EW, and ECM Subsystems
The HMC220MS8(E) is a wideband double-balanced
mixer in an 8 lead plastic surface mount package. This
fully integrated MMIC mixer is fabricated in a GaAs
MESFET process and requires no DC bias and no
external matching components. The HMC220MS8(E)
mixer integrates Schottky diode mixing elements and
on-chip balun transformers to deliver excellent isola-
tion from LO to RF and from LO to IF. The wide IF
bandwidth of DC to 4 GHz enables this mixer to be
used in a wide range of general purpose applications
including upconverters, downconverters, biphase
modulators, demodulators, and phase comparators.
The HMC220MS8(E) operates with LO drive levels as
low as +7 dBm, and exhibits only 7 dB typical conver-
sion loss.

PCB [2] 101828 Evaluation Board
[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB
[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads should be connected 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.
