RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the part status is listed as obsolete or discontinued by major distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance details and lead content status prior to procurement, as specifications may vary between legacy stock and official documentation. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability for this specific Analog Devices part number.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a passive mixer within the 2.4–4 GHz band. Consider the 12 dB maximum conversion loss and 10–12 dB noise figure when calculating system link budgets. The MSOP-8 package suits space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify thermal management capabilities against the 240 mW power dissipation limit for the intended operating environment.

RF Mixers Part Context

The HMC214MS8 belongs to the HMC214 series of RF mixers from Analog Devices. It is a passive MMIC mixer designed for broadband performance. The product line includes variants such as the HMC213AMS8E, which covers a slightly different frequency range of 1.5–4.5 GHz. These components are categorized under Wireless & RF Integrated Circuits.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. The HMC214MS8(E) is listed as obsolete. Designers should consult Analog Devices for current alternatives or evaluate the HMC213AMS8E if the frequency range extension to 1.5 GHz is acceptable.
