HMC437MS8G / 437MS8GE v03.0705 SMT GaAs HBT MMIC DIVIDE-BY-3, DC - 7.0 GHz FREQUENCY DIVIDERS & DETECTORS - SMT 5 Typical Applications Features Prescaler for DC to C Band PLL Applications: SSB Phase Noise: -153 dBc/Hz @100KHz • UNII, Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios Wide Bandwidth • 802.11a & HiperLAN WLAN Output Power: -1 dBm • Fiber Optic Single DC Supply: +5V @ 69 mA • Cellular / 3G Infrastructure MS8G SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC437MS8G & HMC437MS8GE are low noise Divide-by-3 Static Dividers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in low cost 8 lead surface mount plastic packages. This device operates from DC (with a square wave input) to 7.0 GHz input frequency from a single +5.0V DC supply. The low additive SSB phase noise of -153 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise performance.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and backside ground slug should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request. This evaluation board is designed for single ended input testing. J2 and J3 provide differential output signals.
