HMC422MS8 / 422MS8E
GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED
LO AMPLIFIER, 1.2 - 2.6 GHz
v04.0712
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C
Typical Applications
The HMC422MS8 / HMC422MS8E is ideal for:
• MMDS & ISM
• Wireless Local Loop
• WirelessLAN
• Cellular Infrastructure
The HMC422MS8 & HMC422MS8E are double bal-
anced mixer ICs with integrated LO ampliers. This
mixer can operate as an upconverter or downcon-
verter between 1.2 GHz and 2.6 GHz. With the inte-
grated LO amplier, the mixer requires an LO drive
level of only 0 dBm, and requires only 30mA from a
single positive +3V rail. The mixer has 8 dB of conver-
sion loss, an input P1dB of +8 dBm and an input third
order intercept point of +15 dBm at 2 GHz.

Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1LO This pin is AC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.
2, 3, 6, 7 GND Pins must connect to RF ground.
4Vdd Power supply for the LO Amplier. One external RF bypass
capacitor (10,000 pF) is required.
5IF
This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally
using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass
the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this
pin must not source/sink more than 10 mA of current or die
non-function and possible die failure will result.
8RF This pin is DC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.

Evaluation PCB
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.
