The HMC292 devices are passive GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixers that can be used as downconverters or upconverters. They are available in a chip (HMC292), a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package (HMC292LC3B), and an SMT leadless chip carrier package (HMC292LM3C). The HMC292 is used as a downconverter or upconverter in a small chip area of 0.66 mm2. Excellent isolations are provided by on-chip baluns, which require no external components and no dc bias. All data on the HMC292 is measured with the chip in a 50 Ω test fixture connected via 0.076 mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length less than 0.31 mm (<12 mils). The HMC292LC3B operates with LO drive levels greater than 9 dBm. All data on the HMC292LM3C is with the nonhermetic, epoxy sealed LM3C packaged device mounted in a 50 Ω test fixture. Utilizing the HMC292LC3B or HMC292LM3C eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.ApplicationsMicrowave point-to-point radiosPoint-to-point radiosPoint-to-multipoint radios and very small aperture terminal (VSAT)Local multipoint distribution systems (LMDS)Satellite communications (SATCOM)Test equipment and sensorsMilitary end use

The HMC304MS8(E) is a passive high IP3 mixer in 8 lead plastic surface mount Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP). This miniature single balanced MMIC mixer is constructed of GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns on the chip while not requiring any external components. The RF port is balanced via the MMIC balun while the LO port is connected directly to the diodes. LO isolations are typically 20 to 30 dB. Excellent input IP3 performance of +27 to +32 dBm make the HMC304MS8(E) ideal for high dynamic range applications.ApplicationsPCS & 3G2.4 GHz ISMMMDS

The HMC306AMS10 & HMC306AMS10E are general purpose broadband 5-bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators in 10 lead MSOP surface mount plastic packages. Covering 0.7 to 3.8 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 1.5 to 2.3 dB. These attenuators’ bit values are 0.5 (LSB), 1, 2, 4 and 8 dB for a total attenuation of 15.5 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at ± 0.2 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +52 dBm. Five bit control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +3 to +5V, are used to select each attenuation state. A single Vdd bias of +3 to +5V applied through an external 5K Ohm resistor is required.APPLICATIONSCellular; UMTS/3G InfrastructureISM, MMDS, WLAN, WiMAXMicrowave Radio & VSATTest Equipment and Sensors

The HMC310MS8G(E) is a multifunction RFIC that incorporates a power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA) with a transmit/ receive switch. These RFICs offer 15 dB gain and +5 dBm P1dB in the transmit mode and 13 dB of gain with an overall noise figure of 3 dB when in receive mode. Transmit and receive performance levels have been selected to meet the BLUETOOTH Class 2 & 3 requirements when used in conjunction with 2.4 GHz ASICs such as National Semiconductor’s LMX3162. This low current and low cost transceiver requires no external circuitry to operate the amplifier power down features, and is available in the industry standard MSOP8G package, which is 0.118" x 0.190" (3.0 x 4.9mm).ApplicationsBluetoothHomeRFWLAN Radios
