THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS 3062-2.2 SP4740 1·3GHz 4256 PRESCALER WITH LOW CURRENT AND LOW RADIATION The SP4740 4256 prescaler is one of GPS’ range of high speed dividers for consumer frequency synthesis and measurement systems. It has a low supply current, giving reduced dissipation and operating temperatures in an 8-pin plastic DIL (DP8) or miniature plastic DIL (MP8) package. Spurious radiation has been reduced from all stages. The SP4740 incorporates an on-chip preamplifier with differential inputs and has a TTL/CMOS compatible output. 1 INPUT 8 0V 7 0V 2 VCC 3 VCC 4 5 OUTPUT 1 8 0V 2 7 0V VCC 3 6 VCC 4 5 SP4740 6 DP8 FEATURES ■ Low Supply Current ■ Low Radiation ■ Input Wideband Amplifier ■ High Input Sensitivity ■ High Input Impedance ■ TTL/CMOS Output ■ Electrostatic Protection † INPUT SP4740 OUTPUT Fig 1.
