HMC316MS8 / 316MS8E
GaAs MMIC HIGH IP3 DOUBLE-
BALANCED MIXER, 1.5 - 3.8 GHz
v02.0505
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Conversion Loss: 8 dB
LO/RF Isolation: >35 dB
Input IP3: +25 dBm
Ultra Small Package: <1 mm High
Included in the HMC-DK003 Designer’s Kit
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, As a Function of LO Drive
Typical Applications
The HMC316MS8 / HMC316MS8E is ideal for:
• Cellular Basestations
• Cable Modems
• Fixed Wireless Access Systems
• WiMAX
The HMC316MS8 & HMC316MS8E are miniature
double balanced mixers in 8 lead plastic surface
mount packages. The passive GaAs schottky diode
mixer implements planar on chip balun transformers,
and requires no external components. The mixer can
be used as an upconverter, downconverter, or modu-
lator. At mid-band the mixer provides 7.5 dB conver-
sion loss and +25 dBm IIP3 with LO drive levels of
+19 dBm. The design was optimized for low cost high
volume applications where high converter linearity is
required.

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 below. A suffi-
cient number of via holes should be used to connect
the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation
circuit board as shown is available from Hittite upon
request.
