Product details
Overview
HMC585MS8GE from Hittite Microwave Corporation is a GaAs MMIC passive mixer with integrated LO amplifier, operating as a downconverter or upconverter in RF systems from 400–650 MHz, delivering +33 dBm input IP3, 9 dB typical conversion loss, and -2 to +4 dBm LO drive sensitivity at +5 V/50 mA supply - deployed in GSM/GPRS/EDGE and W-CDMA basestation receivers.
For engineers reviewing the HMC585MS8GE datasheet, HMC585MS8GE pinout, HMC585MS8GE application, or HMC585MS8GE equivalent, key selection criteria include its high-side/low-side LO flexibility (300–750 MHz), DC–250 MHz IF bandwidth, MSOP-8 package compatibility, and RF-to-IF isolation performance across temperature.
Technical Context
This device integrates a broadband LO amplifier with a passive double-balanced mixer core, enabling high dynamic range operation without external LO buffering. Its GaAs MMIC process ensures stable gain flatness and spurious suppression over -40°C to +85°C.
The RF and IF ports are DC-coupled (with ±40 mA current limit on IF), while the LO port is AC-coupled and 50 Ω matched. Spurious outputs (e.g., mRF ± nLO) are characterized up to 4th-order harmonics, with measured LO-to-RF isolation ≥7 dB and LO-to-IF isolation ≥10 dB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Frequency Range | 400–650 MHz - supports cellular band reception/transmission in GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA infrastructure. |
| LO Frequency Range | 300–750 MHz - enables both high-side and low-side injection for flexible frequency planning. |
| IF Frequency Range | DC–250 MHz - accommodates baseband, low-IF, and zero-IF receiver architectures. |
| Input IP3 (Typ.) | +33 dBm - provides high linearity for multi-carrier basestation applications with minimal intermodulation distortion. |
| Conversion Loss | 9 dB (typ.) - defines signal path attenuation; requires downstream LNA gain budgeting. |
| LO Drive Level | -2 to +4 dBm - reduces need for external LO amplification, lowering system power and complexity. |
| Supply Requirement | +5 V @ 50 mA - single-supply operation simplifies biasing versus dual-rail mixer solutions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), 3.0 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, RoHS-compliant matte tin finish, MSL1 rated (260 °C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | LO Input | AC-coupled, 50 Ω matched port; accepts -2 to +4 dBm LO drive without external matching. |
| 2 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating per design - no PCB trace or pull-up/down. |
| 3, 6, 7 | Ground | RF ground terminals; require direct soldering to PCB ground plane with multiple vias for low-inductance return path. |
| 4 | Vdd | +5 V supply for integrated LO amplifier; requires external RF bypass capacitor (e.g., 100 pF + 10 nF in parallel). |
| 5 | IF Output/Input | DC-coupled port; supports DC–250 MHz IF; limited to ±40 mA DC current to prevent damage. |
| 8 | RF Input/Output | DC-coupled, 50 Ω matched RF port; handles +27 dBm max input; designed for direct connection to antenna or filter network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated LO amplifier | Eliminates discrete LO buffer stage, reducing board area and insertion loss in RF front-end designs. |
| +33 dBm input IP3 | Enables handling of strong adjacent-channel interferers in dense spectral environments like cable modem termination systems. |
| DC–250 MHz IF bandwidth | Supports zero-IF and low-IF receiver topologies without external IF transformers or baluns. |
| MSOP-8 package | 14.8 mm² footprint enables compact multilayer PCB layouts in space-constrained basestation modules. |
| High LO-to-RF/IF isolation | ≥7 dB LO-to-RF and ≥10 dB LO-to-IF isolation minimizes LO leakage into RF/IF paths, easing filtering requirements. |
Applications
| Basestations & Repeaters | GSM/GPRS/EDGE Infrastructure |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Downconversion of 400–650 MHz cellular signals in macrocell and microcell basestation transceivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive mixer core with integrated LO amplifier performing RF-to-IF translation in receive chain. Use Value: +33 dBm IP3 maintains signal integrity under multi-carrier loading; 9 dB conversion loss enables adequate SNR after LNA gain staging. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upconverter mixer with integrated LO amplifier driving cable plant interface with low phase noise contribution. Use Value: DC–250 MHz IF bandwidth covers full DOCSIS upstream spectrum; LO drive flexibility allows use with low-power synthesizers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-IP3 SMT mixer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC1048LP4E | Wider RF range (10–4000 MHz), higher conversion loss (11 dB), no integrated LO amp, QFN-24 package. | Used in wideband test equipment and broadband receivers where LO buffering is already present. | Select when ultra-wide RF coverage is required and external LO amplification is acceptable. |
| ADL5801ACPZ-R7 | Higher IF bandwidth (DC–450 MHz), lower IP3 (+28 dBm), +5.5 V supply, LFCSP-24 package. | Preferred in high-speed data converter interfaces and software-defined radio front-ends needing extended IF response. | Select when wider IF bandwidth outweighs IP3 requirement and larger package is acceptable. |
Compared with HMC585MS8GE, HMC1048LP4E trades integrated LO functionality and compact MSOP-8 size for broader RF coverage, while ADL5801ACPZ-R7 offers greater IF bandwidth but sacrifices 5 dB of input linearity - making HMC585MS8GE optimal for cost- and space-sensitive 2.5G/3G infrastructure where +33 dBm IP3 and minimal external components are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF input power rating for the HMC585MS8GE?
The HMC585MS8GE has an absolute maximum RF input power rating of +27 dBm. Exceeding this level risks permanent damage to the internal GaAs mixer diodes or LO amplifier. For reliable operation, design margins should keep peak RF input below +22 dBm (the typical input P1dB point), especially under modulated signal conditions with high crest factors. The HMC585MS8GE datasheet specifies this limit under Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 9-361.
Does the HMC585MS8GE require external LO amplification?
No, the HMC585MS8GE does not require external LO amplification because it integrates a GaAs LO amplifier optimized for -2 to +4 dBm drive levels. This eliminates the need for discrete LO buffer stages in most 2.5G/3G infrastructure designs. The HMC585MS8GE's internal LO amp delivers sufficient gain and isolation to directly drive the mixer core while maintaining low phase noise degradation - confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and LO drive vs. IP3 plots on pages 9-358–9-359.
Can the HMC585MS8GE be used for upconversion applications?
Yes, the HMC585MS8GE supports upconversion with verified +27 dBm input IP3 performance at 0 dBm LO drive, as documented in the "Upconverter Performance" section (page 9-357). Its symmetric architecture and broadband LO range (300–750 MHz) enable bidirectional operation. When using the HMC585MS8GE as an upconverter, ensure proper IF port DC biasing and verify LO/RF port isolation to avoid feedthrough - particularly critical in full-duplex systems.
What is the recommended PCB grounding strategy for the HMC585MS8GE?
The HMC585MS8GE requires all ground pins (3, 6, 7) and the exposed paddle to be soldered directly to a low-inductance RF ground plane using multiple via holes (≥4 per ground pin). Per the Outline Drawing notes (page 9-361), failure to do so degrades LO-to-RF isolation and increases conversion loss. The evaluation board (PCB #104813) uses Rogers 4350 substrate with controlled 50 Ω impedance traces - a practice that must be replicated in production layouts for the HMC585MS8GE to meet datasheet performance.
Is the HMC585MS8GE pin-compatible with the HMC585MS8G?
Yes, the HMC585MS8GE is pin-compatible with the HMC585MS8G - both share identical MSOP-8 pinout, electrical specifications, and mechanical outline. The only differences are RoHS compliance (matte Sn finish vs. Sn/Pb), MSL1 reflow profile (260 °C vs. 235 °C), and marking (H585 + 4-digit lot code). No PCB layout changes are needed when substituting HMC585MS8GE for HMC585MS8G in new designs or legacy refreshes.
