ASNT8131

Counter Dividers Overview

The ASNT8131-PQC is a high-speed frequency divider by two and four from Advanced Science And Novel Technology Company, Inc. It operates over a wide frequency range from DC to 32 GHz with fully differential CML input and output interfaces. The device provides clean 50% duty cycle divided clock signals at f/2 (up to 16 GHz) and f/4 (up to 8 GHz). It supports single +3.3V or -3.3V power supply configurations and consumes 317 mW at full operational speed. The component is housed in a standard 24-pin QFN package.

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix PQC to ensure the correct 24-pin QFN package configuration. Confirm that the supplier documentation matches the manufacturer's datasheet revision 1.2.2 for accurate electrical specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required CML logic levels and power supply polarity before integration into the design.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 32 GHz is required for frequency division. Consider the thermal management requirements due to the 317 mW power consumption and the need to solder the center heat slug to ground. Evaluate the PCB layout constraints for differential routing and proper termination matching for CML signals.
