General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC394LP4 & HMC394LP4E are low noise

GaAs HBT programmable 5-bit counters in 4 x

4mm leadless surface mount packages. This device

allows continuous division from N= 2 to 32 at input

frequencies up to 2.2 GHz. The output voltage swing is

800 mV with a duty cycle inversely proportional to N.

The low additive SSB phase noise of -153 dBc/Hz at

100 KHz offset makes this counter an excellent choice

for low noise synthesizer applications.

SSB Phase Noise: -153 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz

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 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.

Asynchronous Programming

The 5-Bit programmable counter counts-down from the programmed value of the data bits to zero and issues an

output pulse at the end of each cycle. Settling time of the programmable 5-Bit counter is dened as the maximum

time required for the counter to change the division ratio N to a new value after the data bits have settled. The worst

case settling time occurs if the data bits A0 thru A4 are changing during the load cycle. Under this condition, the

data bits may potentially be erroneous when they are clocked in and in the worst case could be all 1’s, requiring 32

clock cycles until the correct data is re-loaded into the ip ops. The worst case asynchronous settling time can be

calculated as follows:

TSETTLING MAX = 32/fIN (For Asynchronous Programming)

As an example, if the input frequency is 1 GHz, the maximum settling time is 32 nS

Synchronous Programming

For applications which can not tolerate a momentary undened division ratio, which normally occurs while changing

the data bits (A0-A4) at random, synchronous programming can be used. Data is loaded into the counter on every

rising edge of the clock which occurs while the output (OUT) is “HIGH”. The typical minimum setup and hold times are

shown in the table below as a function of frequency. For precision applications, the rising edge of the complementary

output may be used to latch the new data bits (A0-A4), so that all bits are settled before the next load cycle.

TSETTLING MAX = N/fIN (For Synchronous Programming)
