Product details
Overview
HMC207AS8E from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a GaAs MMIC double-balanced mixer in an 8-lead SOIC package, operating from 0.7–2.0 GHz RF/LO and DC–0.3 GHz IF. It delivers 9 dB typical conversion loss, +17 dBm input IP3, and 45 dB LO/IF isolation at +13 dBm LO drive-enabling high-fidelity up/downconversion in base station transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the HMC207AS8E datasheet, HMC207AS8E pinout, HMC207AS8E application, or HMC207AS8E equivalent, key selection criteria include its DC-coupled 50 Ω matched ports, -40°C to +85°C operating range, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, and MSL1 reflow compatibility up to 260°C.
Technical Context
This passive MMIC mixer uses integrated GaAs Schottky diodes and planar transformer baluns to achieve true double-balanced operation without external hybrids. Its architecture provides inherent suppression of LO feedthrough and even-order distortion products across the full 0.7–2.0 GHz band.
The device supports multiple signal-path roles: as a downconverter (RF→IF), upconverter (IF→RF), biphase modulator/demodulator, or phase comparator. All ports are DC-coupled, with strict current limits (≤10 mA) on the IF port for DC-coupled operation.
Key Specifications

| Conversion Loss | 9 dB typ. @ +13 dBm LO - defines minimum gain budget required in cascade design |
| Input IP3 | +17 dBm typ. @ +13 dBm LO - determines third-order intermodulation headroom in multi-carrier systems |
| LO/IF Isolation | 45 dB typ. - ensures minimal LO leakage into IF chain, critical for sensitive demodulator stages |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - validated for outdoor base station and industrial wireless equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar double-balanced mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC207AS8 | Sn/Pb lead finish, MSL1 reflow limit 235°C, identical electrical specs | Legacy leaded assembly only; not RoHS-compliant | Select HMC207AS8E for new designs requiring RoHS compliance and lead-free reflow |
| ADL5801ACPZ-R7 | Active mixer with 5.5 dB conversion gain, 2.3–2.9 GHz RF range, requires bias supply | Higher frequency, active architecture-requires DC power and differs in noise/power trade-off | Choose ADL5801ACPZ-R7 when gain > loss is required and 2.3–2.9 GHz coverage is needed |
Compared with HMC207AS8 and ADL5801ACPZ-R7, the HMC207AS8E offers RoHS-compliant passive mixing in the 0.7–2.0 GHz band with no DC power requirement-making it optimal for low-power, thermally constrained, or legacy-compatible RF front-ends where simplicity and LO suppression are prioritized over gain.

FAQ
What is the maximum LO drive level for the HMC207AS8E?
The HMC207AS8E supports a maximum LO drive level of +27 dBm, with optimal performance achieved at +13 dBm. Exceeding +27 dBm risks permanent damage to the GaAs diode elements. The device exhibits stable conversion loss and IP3 up to +15 dBm LO drive, as confirmed in the datasheet's LO drive vs. conversion loss and IP3 plots.
Can the HMC207AS8E be used for zero-IF (direct-conversion) receiver designs?
Yes, the HMC207AS8E supports zero-IF operation due to its DC-coupled IF port and DC-coupled RF/LO ports. However, the IF port must not source or sink more than 10 mA DC current. For true DC-coupled baseband interfaces, ensure external biasing complies with this limit; otherwise, use series AC-coupling capacitors sized for the target IF bandwidth.
Is the HMC207AS8E pin-compatible with the HMC207AS8?
Yes, the HMC207AS8E is pin-compatible with the HMC207AS8-both share identical 8-lead SOIC footprint, pin numbering, and terminal functions. The only differences are RoHS compliance (matte Sn vs. Sn/Pb) and MSL1 reflow profile (260°C vs. 235°C peak), making HMC207AS8E a drop-in replacement for new RoHS-compliant assemblies.
What is the recommended PCB grounding strategy for the HMC207AS8E?
The HMC207AS8E requires all ground pins (1, 3, 6, 8) and the exposed package bottom to be soldered directly to a solid RF ground plane. Use multiple via holes connecting top-layer ground traces to inner/outer ground planes, and maintain 50 Ω controlled impedance on RF/LO/IF signal lines-per the evaluation board design (PCB #101783, Rogers 4350 material).
Does the HMC207AS8E require external baluns or matching components?
No, the HMC207AS8E integrates planar transformer baluns monolithically on the GaAs die, eliminating the need for external baluns or hybrid couplers. All ports are internally matched to 50 Ω and DC-coupled, allowing direct connection to 50 Ω sources and loads-reducing bill-of-materials and layout complexity in RF front-end designs.
