FMFD16000

Overview

The FMFD16000 is a general-purpose RF prescaler module manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It functions as a frequency divider with an input frequency range of 400 MHz to 4 GHz and an output frequency range of 25 MHz to 250 MHz. The device accepts an input power level between -15 dBm and 12 dBm. It utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity, providing a rugged solution for signal processing applications requiring frequency conversion within these specified operational parameters.

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the component is listed as obsolete. Confirm technical specifications against official datasheets prior to integration. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA connector infrastructure. Check for authorized distributor channels for legacy support. Validate input power requirements match system design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a fixed frequency division ratio is required for signals between 400 MHz and 4 GHz. Ensure the application can accommodate the specified output range of 25 MHz to 250 MHz. Verify that the input power levels fall within the -15 dBm to 12 dBm operating window. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with surrounding circuitry.

Part Context

Fairview Microwave provides a wide range of RF and microwave components. The FMFD16000 belongs to their category of RF miscellaneous ICs and modules. It serves as a specialized passive or active component for frequency manipulation in high-frequency electronic designs, distinct from their cable assemblies and adapters.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available. The product status is listed as obsolete. Engineers must evaluate end-of-life implications and identify alternative manufacturers or newer generation components that meet the same electrical specifications.
