HMC434TR

Overview

The HMC434TR is a divide-by-8 prescaler utilizing InGaP HBT technology, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates from DC to 8 GHz with a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.3 V. The component is housed in an SOT-23-6 package and supports moisture sensitivity level 3.

Feature Summary

• Implements divide-by-8 frequency division using InGaP HBT MMIC technology
• Supports surface-mount installation in compact SOT-23-6 packaging
• Operates across a wide frequency range from DC to 8 GHz

Applications

• WLAN systems
• RF signal chain development
• General-purpose RF IC prescaler circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm current lifecycle status as the base model HMC434 is marked end-of-life. Ensure compatibility with SOT-23-6 footprint requirements during integration planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a divide-by-8 prescaler is required for frequencies up to 8 GHz. The InGaP HBT process offers robust performance in a small SMT form factor. Verify power supply constraints align with the 2.7 V to 3.3 V operating range before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices RF IC Prescaler category within the broader RF Miscellaneous ICs and Modules portfolio.
