Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC175MS8 & HMC175MS8E are miniature
double-balanced mixers in 8-lead plastic surface
mount Mini Small Outline Packages (MSOP). The
device can be used as an upconverter or downcon-
verter. The mixer provides exceptional isolation and
Intermodulation performance for applications in high
signal density environments. This device can also
be used as a biphase modulator or demodulator.
The MSOP8 is the smallest footprint available for a
complete double-balanced mixer (0.118” x 0.190” x
0.040”).

The circuit board used in the final application
should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the
package ground leads and exposed paddle should
be connected directly to the ground plane similar
to that shown. A sufficient number of VIA holes
should be used to connect the top and bottom
ground planes. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
