HMC213BMS8GE

RF Mixers Overview

The HMC213BMS8GE is a GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer from Analog Devices, housed in an 8-lead MSOP package. It operates within a radio frequency range of 1.5 GHz to 4.5 GHz and supports local oscillator frequencies from 1.5 GHz to 4.5 GHz. The intermediate frequency spans 0 Hz to 1.5 GHz. Key electrical parameters include a maximum conversion loss of 10 dB, an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 21 dBm, and a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 11 dBm. Power dissipation is rated at 1.424 W. The device functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to limited supply status. Confirm RoHS compliance details prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level integrity. Cross-reference datasheet revisions for any parameter updates. Validate package marking against official specifications to prevent counterfeit substitution.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding wideband operation between 1.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz with moderate linearity requirements. Consider the 8-lead MSOP footprint for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 1.424 W power dissipation rating. Compare noise figure specifications against system sensitivity thresholds. Assess compatibility with existing local oscillator drive levels.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC213 series of RF mixers manufactured by Analog Devices. It shares architectural similarities with variants like the HMC213AMS8E but utilizes GaAs technology distinct from silicon-based alternatives. The product line targets wireless infrastructure and instrumentation markets requiring reliable frequency conversion capabilities in compact form factors.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The HMC213AMS8E is a documented variant within the same family. Verify pinout compatibility and parameter differences before substitution. Check for obsolescence notices affecting current production runs.
