RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as the HMC387MS8 is listed as obsolete by Analog Devices Inc. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Ensure compatibility with existing design specifications before procurement due to potential supply chain constraints associated with discontinued parts.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring operation between 450MHz and 500MHz with specific CDMA or GSM requirements. Consider the 8-MSOP package size for space-constrained layouts. Evaluate the 9.5dB noise figure against system sensitivity needs. Verify that the 25dBm input power handling meets signal level expectations.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC387 family of high IP3 GaAs MMIC mixers originally developed by Hittite Microwave Corporation. The series targets applications needing reliable mixing performance in compact packages. The MS8 suffix indicates the specific 8-lead MSOP plastic surface mount enclosure variant.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the component is marked obsolete, engineers should consult official manufacturer replacement guides or evaluate alternative high dynamic range mixers from current product lines.
