General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC437MS8G & HMC437MS8GE are low noise

Divide-by-3 Static Dividers utilizing InGaP GaAs

HBT technology in low cost 8 lead surface mount

plastic packages. This device operates from DC

(with a square wave input) to 7 GHz input frequency

from a single +5V DC supply. The low additive SSB

phase noise of -153 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps

the user maintain good system noise performance.

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

Wide Bandwidth

Output Power: -1 dBm

Single DC Supply: +5V @ 69 mA

[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350

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 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. This evaluation board is

designed for single ended input testing. J2 and J3

provide differential output signals.
