HMC363

GaAs HBT MMIC

DIVIDE-BY-8, DC - 12 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC363 is a low noise Divide-by-8 Static Divider

with InGaP GaAs HBT technology that has a small

size of 1.45 x 0.69 mm. This device operates from

DC (with a square wave input) to 12 GHz input

frequency with a single +5V DC supply. The low

additive 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: -6 dBm

Single DC Supply: +5V

Small Size: 1.45 x 0.69 x 0.1 mm

Typical Applications

Prescaler for DC to X Band PLL Applications:

• Satellite Communication Systems

• Fiber Optic

• Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT
