HMC219BMS8GE

The HMC219B is an ultraminiature, general-purpose, double balanced mixer in an 8-lead plastic surface mini small outline package with exposed pad (MINI_SO_EP). This passive monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mixer is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs) metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The device can be used as an upconverter, downconverter, biphase demodulator, or phase comparator from 2.5 GHz to 7.0 GHz.

The HMC219B provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to radio frequency (RF) isolation and LO to intermediate frequency (IF) isolation due to optimized balun structures. The RoHS compliant HMC219B eliminates the need for wire bonding and is compatible with high volume surface-mount manufacturing techniques. The consistent MMIC performance improves system operation and assures regulatory compliance with HiperLAN, U-NII, and ISM.
