General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Low Conversion Loss: 7 dB

Double-Balanced Topology

Integrated LO Amplifier: 0 to +6 dBm Drive

Input IP3: +15 dBm

Single Supply: +5V @ 46 mA

Typical Applications

The HMC488MS8G / HMC488MS8GE is ideal for:

• Basestations & Repeaters

• Access Points & Subscribers

• UNII, ISM, WLAN & WiMAX

• Point to Point/Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT Radio

The HMC488MS8G(E) is an ultra miniature double-

balanced mixer with integrated LO amplifier in an 8

lead plastic SMT MSOP8-G covering 4 - 7 GHz. This

passive MMIC mixer integrates a GaAs Schottky

diode quad, transformer baluns and a LO buffer

on a single chip yielding a low conversion loss of

7 dB coupled with an input IP3 of +15 dBm. The LO

buffer amplifier can be driven from 0 to +6 dBm and

requires a single supply of +5V @ 46 mA. The device

can be used as an upconverter, downconverter or

bi-phase (de)modulator for a variety of point-to-point/

multipoint, VSAT, telemetry or broadband WLAN

applications.
