HMC361G8

Overview

The HMC361G8 is a low-noise divide-by-2 static frequency divider manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 13 GHz using a square wave input. The device requires a single +5 V DC power supply, with operating limits between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. It draws 84 mA of working current and delivers an output power of 3 dBm. The component is housed in an 8-lead glass/metal surface mount hermetic package (SMT-8) and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Low noise performance for signal integrity
• Static divide-by-2 division ratio
• Hermetic glass/metal surface mount packaging

Applications

• VSAT systems
• DBS applications
• Wireless RF integrated circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against the official Analog Devices datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the hermetic SMT-8 package matches the design requirements. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary. Validate RoHS compliance details through the manufacturer's official documentation prior to purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a divide-by-2 function is required up to 13 GHz. The GaAs HBT MMIC technology supports high-frequency operation. The hermetic package is suitable for environments requiring robust protection. Verify that the 84 mA current draw fits the system power budget. Ensure the 10 MHz lower frequency limit meets the application's minimum input requirements.
