The HMC175MS8 is a miniature doublebalanced mixer in an 8-lead plastic surface mount Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP). The device can be used as an upconverter or downconverter and is especially suitable for portable wireless applications, PCMCIA cards and mini-basestations, because of its small size and zero DC bias requirement. The mixer provides exceptional isolation and Intermodulation performance for application in high signal density environments. This device can also be used as a biphase modulator or demodulator. The MSOP8 is the smallest footprint available for a complete double-balanced mixer (0.118" x 0.190" x 0.040").
