Product details
Overview
HMC219AMS8 from Hittite Microwave Corporation (now part of Analog Devices) is a GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer in MSOP-8 package, operating from 4.5–9 GHz RF/LO and DC–2.5 GHz IF. It delivers 8.5 dB typical conversion loss at +13 dBm LO drive, 25 dB LO/RF isolation, and +21 dBm input IP3 - ideal for microwave radio up/downconversion and phase modulation.
For engineers reviewing the HMC219AMS8 datasheet, HMC219AMS8 pinout, HMC219AMS8 application, or HMC219AMS8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5–9 GHz frequency coverage, passive architecture requiring no bias, MSOP-8 footprint compatibility with high-density RF layouts, and verified performance across -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
This passive GaAs Schottky diode-based mixer integrates on-chip planar transformer baluns for balanced RF/LO/IF ports, enabling true double-balanced operation without external hybrids. Its architecture inherently suppresses even-order harmonics and LO leakage while supporting bi-phase modulation and phase comparison functions.
Performance is specified at +13 dBm LO drive with 100 MHz IF; conversion loss remains ≤10 dB across full 4.5–9 GHz band, and P1dB reaches +10 dBm at +25°C. Input IP2 exceeds +60 dBm at 6 GHz, confirming strong second-order intermodulation rejection in dense signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range (RF/LO) | 4.5–9.0 GHz - supports UNII, HiperLAN, and point-to-point microwave radios in licensed and ISM bands |
| IF Bandwidth | DC–2.5 GHz - enables baseband I/Q demodulation and wideband IF sampling without external filtering |
| Conversion Loss | 8.5 dB typ. @ +13 dBm LO - defines minimum gain budget required in receiver chain or driver stage in transmitter |
| LO–RF Isolation | 25 dB min. @ +13 dBm LO - reduces LO radiation into antenna path, easing front-end filter requirements |
| Input IP3 | +21 dBm typ. @ +13 dBm LO - determines third-order dynamic range before distortion degrades adjacent-channel selectivity |
| P1dB (Input) | +10 dBm typ. @ +25°C - sets maximum usable signal level before compression affects linearity in sensitive receivers |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - validated for outdoor wireless infrastructure and industrial microwave links |
Pinout & Package
Package: MSOP-8 (Mini Small Outline Package), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.1 mm body, Sn/Pb lead finish, MSL1 rating, low-stress molded plastic. Ground leads (pins 1, 2, 7, 8) must be soldered directly to PCB RF ground plane per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 7, 8 | Ground | RF and DC return paths; all four pins require low-inductance connection to solid ground plane |
| 3 | RF Input | Differential RF port - requires 50 Ω balanced drive or external balun for single-ended interface |
| 4 | LO Input | Differential LO port - accepts +13 dBm typical; max +27 dBm absolute rating |
| 5 | IF Output | Differential IF output - DC-coupled, supports baseband or low-IF architectures up to 2.5 GHz |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or tied to ground per board-level EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Passive GaAs MMIC architecture | Zero DC bias required - eliminates power supply design complexity and thermal drift in RF front ends |
| On-chip planar transformer baluns | Enables true double-balanced operation without external components - reduces BOM count and board area |
| High LO–RF isolation (25 dB) | Minimizes LO leakage into antenna path - relaxes filtering requirements in TDD/FDD transceivers |
| Wide IF bandwidth (DC–2.5 GHz) | Supports direct-conversion and zero-IF receivers - avoids image-reject filter design and tuning |
| MSOP-8 footprint | Compact 3×3 mm outline - compatible with automated SMT assembly and high-density RF PCB routing |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar double-balanced mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC1048LP3E | Wider RF/LO range (2–18 GHz), higher conversion loss (9.5 dB), larger 3×3 mm QFN package | Better suited for multi-band test equipment; less optimal for compact 5–6 GHz radios due to higher loss | Select when broader frequency coverage outweighs conversion loss penalty and board space allows QFN |
| ADL5801ACPZ-R7 | Active mixer with +5 V bias, 4.5–2.7 GHz RF, integrated LO buffer, 7.7 dB conversion gain | Requires power supply and generates more heat; preferred where gain > loss is mandatory in RX chain | Choose only if system needs conversion gain and can accommodate active biasing and thermal management |
Compared with HMC219AMS8, HMC1048LP3E trades wider bandwidth for higher loss and larger footprint, while ADL5801ACPZ-R7 replaces passive simplicity with active gain at the cost of power, noise, and complexity - making HMC219AMS8 optimal for size-, power-, and linearity-constrained microwave radios.

FAQ
What is the recommended LO drive level for optimal performance of the HMC219AMS8?
The HMC219AMS8 achieves best conversion loss (8.5 dB typ.), IP3 (+21 dBm), and isolation (25 dB) at +13 dBm LO drive. Performance degrades below +11 dBm (loss increases, IP3 drops) and risks damage above +27 dBm absolute maximum. HMC219AMS8 must be operated within this window for repeatable RF system behavior.
Does the HMC219AMS8 require DC bias or external baluns?
No - the HMC219AMS8 is a fully passive GaAs MMIC mixer with integrated planar transformer baluns. It requires no DC bias, simplifying power design. External baluns are optional: differential RF/LO/IF ports support direct connection to balanced sources, but single-ended interfaces need external baluns. HMC219AMS8 functionality is self-contained.
What is the meaning of "MSOP-8" package marking "219A" on the HMC219AMS8?
The top-side marking "219A" is the device identifier code for the HMC219AMS8, distinct from the full part number. It appears alongside a 4-digit lot code (XXXX) per Analog Devices' packaging standard. This marking confirms authenticity and traceability for the HMC219AMS8 and aligns with JEDEC MSOP-8 mechanical specifications.
How does temperature affect conversion loss and P1dB in the HMC219AMS8?
Over -40°C to +85°C, HMC219AMS8 conversion loss varies ≤1.5 dB (typ. 8.5 → 10 dB), and P1dB shifts from +7 dBm (-40°C) to +10 dBm (+25°C) to +8 dBm (+85°C). These variations are characterized and published in the datasheet - HMC219AMS8 maintains functional linearity across its full rated temperature range.
Is the HMC219AMS8 still in production, and what is its obsolescence status?
The HMC219AMS8 is marked "OBSOLETE" in official documentation, indicating end-of-life status per Analog Devices' product lifecycle policy. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers controlled distribution with full traceability. HMC219AMS8 remains viable for repair, sustainment, and legacy design continuity programs.
