HMC-C040
DIVIDE-BY-10 PRESCALER
MODULE, 0.5 - 17.0 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C040 is a low noise Divide-by-10 Static
Divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology pack-
aged in a miniature, hermetic module with replaceable
SMA connectors. This device operates from 0.5 to 17
GHz input frequency from a single +5V DC supply.
The low additive SSB phase noise of -155 dBc/Hz
at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain excellent
system noise performance.
Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -155 dBc/Hz
Very Wide Bandwidth
Output Power: -1 dBm
Single DC Supply: +5V @ 152mA
RoHS Compliant Hermetically Sealed Module
Field Replaceable SMA Connectors
-55 to +85 °C Operating Temperature
Typical Applications
Prescaler for 0.5 to 17 GHz PLL Applications:
• Point-to-Point / Multi-Point Radios
• VSAT Radios
• Fiber Optic
• Test Equipment
• Military & Space
