HMC363G8

SMT GaAs HBT MMIC

DIVIDE-BY-8, DC - 12.0 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC363G8 is a low noise Divide-by-8 Static

Divider with InGaP GaAs HBT technology in an

8 lead glass/metal (hermetic) surface mount

package. This device operates from DC (with a

square wave input) to 12 GHz input frequency

with a single +5.0V DC supply. The low addi-

tive SSB phase noise of -153 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz

offset helps the user maintain good system noise

performance.

Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -153 dBc/Hz

Wide Bandwidth

Output Power: 4 dBm

Single DC Supply: +5V

8 Lead Hermetic SMT Package

Typical Applications

Prescaler for DC to X Band PLL Applications:

• Point-to-Point / Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT Radios

• Test Equipment

• Fiber Optic

• Military & Space

1. Divider will operate down to DC for square-wave input signal.
