HMC362S8GTR

Overview

The HMC362S8GTR is a Divide-by-4 static frequency divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology. It operates from DC to 12 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. Output power is -6 dBm. It is housed in an 8-lead surface mount plastic package (SOIC-8) and functions within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Implements divide-by-4 frequency division using InGaP GaAs HBT technology
• Operates across a wide frequency range from DC to 12 GHz
• Housed in an 8-lead surface mount plastic package for SMD/SMT installation

Applications

• RF and microwave frequency synthesis systems
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) reference dividers
• Frequency measurement and test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S8GTR' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the SOIC-8 surface mount package and tape-and-reel delivery format. Ensure compatibility with the required 5V supply and 68mA current draw. Confirm that the DC to 12 GHz operational range meets system requirements. Check for any recent product change notifications or discontinuation notices associated with this specific part number variant.

Selection Notes

Select the HMC362S8GTR when a divide-by-4 function is required up to 12 GHz in a surface-mount configuration. Consider the InGaP GaAs HBT technology for performance characteristics. Verify that the 8-lead SOIC-8 package fits the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C aligns with the application environment. Compare against other family members like HMC361 or HMC363 if different division ratios are needed.

Part Context

The HMC362S8GTR belongs to the HMC362 series of low-noise static dividers by Analog Devices. It shares the core Divide-by-4 functionality with variants like HMC362S8G but differs in packaging and shipping format. The S8GTR designation specifically indicates the 8-lead SOIC-8 surface mount package with tape-and-reel delivery, distinguishing it from die or waffle pack options found in other listings.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitutes include HMC362S8G for the same functional device in a different package style. For higher frequency operation, consider the HMC365S8GTR which offers DC to 13 GHz capability. If a divide-by-8 ratio is acceptable, the HMC363S8GTR serves as a functional alternative within the same package type.
