Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC488MS8G is an ultra miniature double-
balanced mixer with an integrated LO amplifier
in an 8 lead plastic SMT MSOP 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.
