Typical Applications

The HMC277MS8 / HMC277MS8E is ideal for:

• Cellular / 3G Infrastructure

• Basestations & Repeaters

• GSM, CDMA & WCDMA

• Subscribers & Portables

General Description

The HMC277MS8 & HMC277MS8E are general

purpose single balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic

surface mount Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP).

This passive MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs

Schottky diodes and a novel planar transformer balun

on the chip. The HMC277MS8(E) requires no external

matching components, and is ideal for upconverter

and downconverter applications. The RF port is

balanced via the MMIC balun while the LO port is

connected directly to the diodes. This product is pin

for pin compatible with the HMC272MS8(E) which

operates from 1.7 to 3.0 GHz.

Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic

1, 3, 5 GND This pin must be connected to RF ground.

2LO This pin is AC coupled

and matched to 50 Ohms.

4, 7 N/C No connection required. These pins may be connected to

RF/DC ground without affecting performance.

6IF

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 This pin is DC coupled

and matched to 50 Ohms.

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 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.
