HMC362

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The HMC362 is a low-noise Divide-by-4 static frequency divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology. It operates from DC to 11 GHz with a divide ratio of 4. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, typically 5 V, and draws 68 mA of operating current. It features an output power of -6 dBm and functions within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. Packaged as a die in waffle format for SMD/SMT installation, it measures 1.30 x 0.69 mm.
