HMC423MS8 423MS8E / v02.0705 GaAs MMIC MIXER w/ INTEGRATED LO AMPLIFIER, 0.6 - 1.3 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC423MS8 / HMC423MS8E is ideal for: Integrated LO Amplifi er w/ Pdiss <50 mW •Base Stations Conversion Loss / Noise Figure: 8 dB •Portable Wireless Low LO Drive: 0 dBm E Input IP3: +15 dBm •CATV/DBS 9 Single Positive Supply: 3V, 15 mA •ISM T T M E Functional Diagram General Description S - The HMC423MS8 & HMC423MS8E are double bal- L L anced mixer ICs with integrated LO amplifi ers. This A B mixer can operate as an upconverter or downcon- - verter between 0.6 GHz and 1.3 GHz. With the inte- L O B grated LO amplifi er, the mixer requires an LO drive D level of only 0 dBm, and requires only 15mA 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 S S order intercept point of +15 dBm at 1.3 GHz.
