General Description
The HMC310MS8G & HMC310MS8GE are multifunction RFICs that incorporates a power amplifi er (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA) with a transmit/ receive switch. These RFICs offer 15 dB gain and +5 dBm P1dB in the transmit mode and 13 dB of gain with an overall noise figure of 3 dB when in receive mode. Transmit and receive performance levels have been selected to meet the BLUETOOTH Class 2 & 3 requirements when used in conjunction with 2.4 GHz ASICs such as National Semiconductor’s LMX3162. This low current and low cost transceiver requires no external circuitry to operate the amplifier power down features, and is available in the industry standard MSOP8G package, which is 0.118” x 0.190” (3.0mm x 4.9mm).
