HMC784AMS8GETR

HMC784AMS8GETR is an Analog Devices (formerly Hittite) GaAs MMIC mixer in an 8‑lead MSOP (AMS8) RoHS package. It’s designed for broadband RF mixing (downconversion or upconversion) in microwave/millimeter‑wave systems, using separate RF, LO, and IF ports with 50-ohm external impedance handling.
Key points:
- Function: RF/LO/IF mixer for heterodyne receivers, up/downconverters, test equipment.
- Package: 8-pin MSOP (AMS8) with RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel version (GETR).
- What you need: the datasheet for exact frequency range, LO drive level, conversion loss, isolation, IP3, bias/power pins, and pinout.
- Typical use: biased MMIC mixer in front-end RF chains, requiring external matching networks and LO/DC bias per the datasheet.
If you’re selecting or integrating it, check the latest datasheet on Analog Devices’ site for precise electrical specifications and recommended application circuits.

Here are the key features of the HMC784AMS8GETR (datasheet-style summary):
- 8-lead MSOP package (AMS8) with tape-and-reel (TR) options
