Product details
Overview
HMC207AS8 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 wireless infrastructure transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the HMC207AS8 datasheet, HMC207AS8 pinout, HMC207AS8 application, or HMC207AS8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its passive architecture, DC-coupled 50 Ω RF/LO/IF ports, -40°C to +85°C operating range, MSL1 reflow compatibility, and suitability for carrier-suppressed modulator designs requiring >40 dB LO leakage suppression.
Technical Context
This passive GaAs Schottky diode-based mixer uses on-chip planar transformer baluns to achieve inherent RF/LO/IF port balance and broadband rejection of even-order harmonics. Its double-balanced topology suppresses LO feedthrough and RF–IF coupling without external filtering.
The device operates with +10 to +15 dBm LO drive, exhibits flat conversion loss across 0.7–2.0 GHz, and maintains stable IP3 (>14 dBm) and P1dB (>7 dBm) over temperature. All ports are DC-coupled and impedance-matched to 50 Ω, simplifying integration into SMT RF front-ends.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6, 8 | GND | RF/DC ground terminals - all four must be soldered directly to PCB ground plane; package bottom also grounded |
| 2 | LO | DC-coupled 50 Ω LO input - accepts +10 to +15 dBm drive; no external bias tee required |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - may be grounded without performance impact |
| 5 | IF | DC-coupled IF output - supports DC–300 MHz; current-limited to ±10 mA for DC-coupled operation |
| 8 | RF | DC-coupled 50 Ω RF port - bidirectional; used as input (downconverter) or output (upconverter) |
Key Features

| On-chip planar transformer baluns | Enables intrinsic port balance and >40 dB common-mode rejection without external hybrid couplers |
| DC-coupled 50 Ω ports | Eliminates DC-blocking capacitors at RF/LO/IF - reduces BOM count and preserves low-frequency response |
| High LO-to-IF isolation | 45 dB min. suppresses LO feedthrough into IF chain - essential for carrier-suppressed QPSK/QAM modulators |
| MSL1 packaging | Compatible with standard Pb-free and Sn/Pb reflow profiles - supports mixed-technology board assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar double-balanced mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC207AS8E | RoHS-compliant variant with 100% matte Sn lead finish and 260 °C reflow rating; identical electrical specs | Required for Pb-free manufacturing; same RF performance and layout footprint as HMC207AS8 | Select HMC207AS8E when RoHS compliance or higher reflow temperature tolerance is mandatory |
| ADL5801ACPZ-R7 | Active 0.4–6.0 GHz mixer with 2.5 V supply; 7.7 dB conversion loss; integrated LO buffer; 36 dB LO–RF isolation | Better LO drive flexibility (0 dBm typical) but requires bias supply and generates more heat; wider bandwidth | Choose ADL5801ACPZ-R7 only if wider frequency coverage or lower LO drive is prioritized over passive simplicity and thermal efficiency |
Compared with HMC207AS8, the HMC207AS8E offers identical RF performance with RoHS compliance, while the ADL5801ACPZ-R7 trades passive operation and thermal simplicity for broader bandwidth and active LO drive tolerance-making HMC207AS8 optimal for cost- and thermally-constrained 0.7–2.0 GHz infrastructure designs.

FAQ
What is the recommended LO drive level for optimal performance of the HMC207AS8?
The HMC207AS8 achieves best conversion loss (9 dB typ.) and IP3 (+17 dBm) at +13 dBm LO drive. Performance remains stable between +10 and +15 dBm. Driving below +10 dBm increases conversion loss; above +15 dBm risks compression and accelerated aging. The HMC207AS8 datasheet specifies +13 dBm as the nominal condition for all key parameters.
Can the HMC207AS8 be used in zero-IF (direct-conversion) receiver architectures?
Yes, the HMC207AS8 supports zero-IF operation due to its DC–0.3 GHz IF bandwidth and DC-coupled IF port. When used in direct-conversion receivers, the IF output must be AC-coupled if DC offset cancellation is not implemented, since the HMC207AS8 itself does not generate DC offsets but passes them from RF/LO imbalance. The HMC207AS8's 23 dB RF–IF isolation helps mitigate self-mixing artifacts.
Is the HMC207AS8 pin-compatible with the HMC207AS8E?
Yes, the HMC207AS8 and HMC207AS8E share identical pinout, package dimensions, and mechanical footprint. The only differences are lead finish (Sn/Pb vs. 100% matte Sn) and MSL reflow profile (235 °C vs. 260 °C). No PCB layout change is needed when substituting HMC207AS8E for HMC207AS8 in new designs requiring RoHS compliance.
What is the maximum RF input power the HMC207AS8 can handle without damage?
The absolute maximum RF/IF input power for the HMC207AS8 is +13 dBm. Exceeding this level risks permanent degradation of the GaAs Schottky diodes. For reliable operation, RF input should be limited to ≤ +10 dBm under continuous wave conditions. The HMC207AS8's 1 dB compression point is +8 dBm (min.), confirming its linearity limit aligns with the +13 dBm absolute rating.
Does the HMC207AS8 require external baluns or matching networks?
No, the HMC207AS8 integrates planar transformer baluns on-die and presents 50 Ω impedance at all RF, LO, and IF ports. External matching is unnecessary for standard 50 Ω systems. However, the package bottom and pins 1/3/6/8 must be soldered to a solid RF ground plane, and sufficient via density is required to maintain ground integrity-per the HMC207AS8 evaluation board layout guidelines.
