HMC861LP3E
v01.0112
13 GHz LOW NOISE PROGRAMMABLE
DIVIDER (N = 1, 3)
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Typical Applications
The HMC861LP3E is a low noise programmable
frequency divider in a 3 x 3 mm leadless
surface mount package. The divider can be
programmed to divide from N = 1,3 in the
100 MHz to 13 GHz input frequency range. The low
phase noise and wide frequency range make this
device ideal for high performance and wide band
communication systems.
Low Noise Floor: -152 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
Programmable Frequency Divider, N = 1 or 3
Wide Bandwidth 100 MHz to 13 GHz
16 Lead 3X3 mm SMT Package: 9mm2
Electrical Specications, TA = +25 °C, Vcc1 = Vcc2 = +5V
The HMC861LP3E is ideal for:
• Satellite Communication Systems
• Point-to-Point & Point-to-Multi-Point Radios
• Military Applications
• Test Equipment
Parameter Conditions Min. Typ. Max. Units
RF Input Characteristics
Max RF Input Frequency Sine Wave or Square Wave Input 13 GHz

The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and backside ground paddle should be con-
nected 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.
