HMC426MS8E

RF Power Dividers/Splitters Overview

The HMC426MS8E is a low-noise, divide-by-4 static frequency divider utilizing SiGe technology. It operates from DC to 4 GHz and features an inherently balanced design that produces two 180-degree out-of-phase outputs, ideal for differential amplifier inputs. The device suppresses even-order harmonics due to its symmetry. It requires a 3 V operating supply voltage and draws 13 mA of current. The component is housed in an 8-TSSOP or 8-MSOP package with dimensions of 3.00mm x 3.00mm. Part status is obsolete.
