HMC426MS8 / 426MS8E

SMT SiGe MMIC

DIVIDE-BY-4, DC - 4 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC426MS8 & HMC426MS8E are low noise

Divide-by-4 Static Dividers utilizing SiGe technology

in 8 lead surface mount plastic packages. This

device operates from DC (with a square wave input)

to 4.0 GHz input frequency while operating from a

single +3V supply at only 13 mA. The low additive

SSB phase noise of -146 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset

helps the user maintain excellent system noise

performance.

Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -146 dBc/Hz

Wide Input Power Range: -15 to +10 dBm

Output Power: +3.5 dBm

Single DC Supply: +3V @ 13 mA

MS8 SMT Package

Typical Applications

Prescaler for DC to 4.0 GHz PLL Applications:

• DBS/CATV Tuners

• 802.11x & HiperLAN WLAN

• Fixed Wireless & WLL

• Microwave & VSAT Radios

• Cellular & 3G

Evaluation PCB

List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 107622 [1]

The circuit board used in the  nal application should

use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should

have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground

leads 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. This

evaluation board is designed for single ended input

and output testing.
