Hittite Linear Mixers With LO Amplifiers For Cellular/3G/WiMAX

Hittite Microwave introduced two new linear MMIC Mixers with Integrated LO Amplifiers, which are suited for Cellular/PCS/3G, Broadband, WiBro and WiMAX applications from 0.4 to 4.0 GHz.

The HMC585MS8G(E) is a High IP3 GaAs MMIC Mixer with Integrated LO Amplifier which operates from 400 to 650 MHz, and features high input IP3 of +33dBm, while requiring only 0dBm of LO drive. This high dynamic range MMIC mixer operates with LO frequencies from 300 to 750 MHz making it suitable for high side and low side LO frequency plans. The HMC585MS8G(E) is housed in a RoHS compliant MSOP8G “E” SMT package, and shares a common pinout with the HMC483MS8G(E), and the HMC485MS8G(E) family of high IP3 mixers which cover frequencies from 0.7 to 2.4 GHz.
The HMC215LP4(E) is a Double-Balanced GaAs MMIC Mixer with Integrated LO Amplifier which is rated from 1.7 to 4.0 GHz, and features high LO to RF isolation of 32dB, low conversion loss of 8dB, and high input IP3 of +25dBm. This wideband MMIC mixer is housed in a RoHS compliant leadless 4x4 mm QFN “E” SMT package, and shares a common pinout with the HMC551LP4(E) and the HMC552LP4(E) family of double balanced mixers with integrated LO amplifiers which operate from 0.8 to 3.0 GHz.
Both the HMC585MS8G(E) and the HMC215LP4(E) operate from a single +5V supply and their passive mixer topologies make them suited for upconversion and downconversion applications.
