Description
Hewlett-Packard's IFD-53010 and
IFD-53110 are low phase noise
silicon bipolar static digital
frequency dividers using two
scaled Emitter-Coupled-Logic
(ECL) master-slave D flip-flops
and buffer amplifiers. They are
housed in hermetic high reliability
surface mount packages suitable
for commercial, industrial, and
military applications. Typical
applications include stabilized or
digitally controlled local oscillators for GPS, SATCOM or
military receivers, and frequency
synthesizers and counters in
instrumentation systems. The
IFD-53110 is a lower cost selected
version of the IFD-53010, and is
distinguished by a reduced
operating frequency range.
The IFD series of frequency
dividers is fabricated using
Hewlett-Packard's 18 GHz, ft,
ISOSAT™-2 silicon bipolar
process which uses nitride selfalignment, submicrometer
lithography, trench isolation, ionimplantation, gold metallization
and polyimide intermetal
dielectric and scratch protection
to achieve excellent device
uniformity, performance, and
reliability.
