HIGH IP3 GaAs MMIC
MIXER, 700 - 1000 MHz
v04.1208
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
+35 dBm Input IP3
Conversion Loss: 8.5 dB
Low External Part Count
Ultra Small MSOP8 Package: 14.8 mm2
Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25°C, LO = +17 dBm, IF = 200 MHz [1]
Typical Applications
High Dynamic Range Infrastructure:
• GSM, GPRS & EDGE
• CDMA & W-CDMA
• Cable Modem Termination Systems
The HMC399MS8(E) is a high dynamic range
passive MMIC mixer in plastic surface mount 8 lead
Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP) covering 700
to 1000 MHz. Excellent input IP3 performance of
+35 dBm for down conversion and +32 dBm for
up conversion is provided for 2.5G & 3G GSM/
CDMA based cellular applications at an LO drive
of +17 dBm. With a 1 dB compression of +23 dBm,
the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal
levels. Conversion loss is 8.5 dB typical and LO
isolations are maintained at 23 to 35 dB. This
miniature single-ended monolithic GaAs FET mixer
requires only one external inductor to optimize the
LO frequency response. The 50 to 250 MHz IF
frequency response will satisfy many cellular
transmit or receive frequency plans. The
HMC399MS8(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
when an external inductor (L1) is connected in series with
the LO. Choose value of L1 to optimize LO frequency
response.
2, 4 N/C Not connected.
3, 6, 7 GND This pin must be connected to RF ground.
5IF
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 C1 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 & 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 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.
