SP8904E/KG/MP1S

Counter Dividers Overview

The SP8904E/KG/MP1S is a high-speed divide-by-4 fixed modulus counter manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It operates as a prescaler or multivibrator within the logic components category, designed for applications requiring frequency division at microwave frequencies. The device supports input frequencies up to 5 GHz and is characterized for operation over an ambient temperature range of -55°C to +125°C with a supply voltage of 4.75V to 5.25V. It is available in a ceramic package configuration suitable for high-reliability environments.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Provides fixed modulus division functionality for signal processing
• Capable of operating at microwave frequencies up to 5 GHz
• Designed for high-reliability aerospace and defense applications

Counter Dividers Applications

• Microwave frequency synthesis systems
• High-speed digital clock distribution networks
• Aerospace and defense communication equipment

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes (KG/MP1S) against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct pinout, thermal characteristics, and environmental compliance. Confirm that the source component matches the original Microsemi specifications rather than generic equivalents. Request full traceability data and lot history if the application requires strict quality control standards typical of regulated industries.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise divide-by-4 ratio is required at frequencies approaching 5 GHz. Ensure the system design accommodates the specified 5V supply tolerance and thermal management requirements for ceramic packages. Evaluate compatibility with existing clock drivers and load conditions to maintain signal integrity at high speeds without additional buffering.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the family of high-speed counters and dividers produced by Microsemi, now part of Microchip Technology. These devices are engineered for robust performance in harsh environments, distinguishing them from commercial-grade logic ICs. The SP8904 series specifically targets applications where stable frequency division is critical for system synchronization and timing accuracy.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for direct replacements. Generic logic dividers may not support the 5 GHz operational limit or the required environmental ruggedness. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameters before substituting.
