HMC361S8GETR

Overview

The HMC361S8GETR is a low-noise, divide-by-2 static prescaler utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology. It operates from DC to 10 GHz with a nominal 5 V supply (4.75–5.25 V). The device draws 83 mA and delivers 3 dBm output power. It is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package with exposed pads, rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.

Feature Summary

• Implements divide-by-2 frequency division using InGaP GaAs HBT technology
• Operates as a low-noise static divider across DC to 10 GHz range
• Designed for surface-mount integration in compact RF circuits

Applications

• VSAT satellite communication systems
• RF signal chain frequency synthesis
• Wireless infrastructure frequency reference

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm the specific suffix matches required packaging. Check current lifecycle status as EOL notifications may apply. Ensure environmental compliance documentation aligns with project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring wideband divide-by-2 functionality up to 10 GHz. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints for PCB layout. Verify input power levels remain within specified limits to ensure proper operation. Evaluate thermal management needs given the operating temperature range and power consumption characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC361G series of prescalers. It shares core specifications with variants like HMC361S8GE and HMC361S8G, differing primarily in tape-and-reel packaging configuration. The family targets high-frequency division tasks in microwave and millimeter-wave applications.

Replacement Considerations

HMC361S8G and HMC361S8GE are functionally equivalent parts within the same series. Differences lie in packaging format rather than electrical performance. Verify pinout compatibility when substituting between these specific suffixes.
