HMC494LP3

SMT GaAs HBT MMIC

DIVIDE-BY-8, DC - 18 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC494LP3 is a low noise Divide-by-8

Static Divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technol-

ogy packaged in a leadless 3x3 mm QFN surface

mount plastic package. This device operates from

DC (with a square wave input) to 18 GHz input

frequency from a single +5.0V DC supply. The

low additive SSB phase noise of -150 dBc/Hz at

100 kHz offset helps the user maintain excellent

system noise performance.

Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -150 dBc/Hz

Very Wide Bandwidth

Output Power: -4 dBm

Single DC Supply: +5V

3 x 3 x 1 mm QFN Package

Typical Applications

Prescaler for DC to 18 GHz PLL Applications:

• Point-to-Point / Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT Radios

• Fiber Optic

• Test Equipment

• Military

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