Procurement Notes

Verify component availability status carefully as the HMC365 may be subject to limited supply or discontinuation. Confirm specific ordering suffixes such as SX if required for packaging variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations before procurement. Check moisture sensitivity levels and storage conditions due to the die package type. Validate that the selected variant matches the exact technical requirements for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select the HMC365 when a low-phase-noise prescaler is needed for frequencies up to 13 GHz. The InGaP HBT technology offers a balance of performance and size. Consider the 1.30 x 0.69 mm die dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Ensure the design supports a stable +5V supply and handles the 110 mA current draw. Verify compatibility with square wave inputs at DC frequencies.
