HMC365S8GE

Overview

The HMC365S8GE is a low-noise, divide-by-4 static frequency divider manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 13 GHz and is housed in an 8-lead surface mount plastic package (S8G). The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, with a typical operating current of 83 mA. It delivers an output power of 3 dBm and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Implements divide-by-4 static division using InGaP GaAs HBT technology for low noise performance.

Applications

• VSAT systems
• General purpose RF signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm the specific S8G package variant matches design requirements. Check for obsolescence status or limited availability as distribution constraints may apply. Ensure environmental compliance data aligns with project specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a divide-by-4 function is required up to 13 GHz with low noise characteristics. The SMD package suits automated assembly processes. Verify that the 5V supply constraint and 83 mA current draw fit the system power budget. Consider thermal management capabilities given the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This prescaler belongs to the HMC365G series of wireless and RF integrated circuits. It complements other frequency division components like the HMC361S8GE, which offers a divide-by-2 ratio. Both utilize similar InGaP HBT technology but serve different division ratios within the same product family architecture.

Replacement Considerations

HMC365S8G is the non-E version of this component. HMC361S8GE serves as a functional alternative if a divide-by-2 ratio is acceptable instead of divide-by-4.
