UXD20P/TR

Overview

The UXD20P/TR is a programmable binary prescaler manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for high-frequency RF applications. It operates across a frequency range of DC to 20 GHz and supports divide-by-1, 2, 4, and 8 ratios. The device is housed in a 24-pin QFN package with an exposed pad (24-VFQFN EP), measuring 4x4 mm. It requires a supply voltage of 3.3V and utilizes surface-mount technology for integration into wireless systems.

Feature Summary

• Supports programmable division ratios of 1, 2, 4, and 8
• Operates at frequencies up to 20 GHz
• Utilizes a compact 24-pin QFN exposed pad package

Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• RF integrated circuits
• Frequency synthesis modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the 24-QFN package variant matches the design-in requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest datasheet revision to meet environmental standards. Ensure the 3.3V supply requirement aligns with the system power architecture before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering DC to 20 GHz is required for signal processing. The programmable nature allows flexibility in frequency division schemes within RF front-ends. Consider the 24-pin QFN footprint for PCB layout constraints. Verify compatibility with the 3.3V logic levels and power delivery network to maintain signal integrity at high frequencies.

Part Context

This prescaler belongs to the RF Miscellaneous ICs and Modules category under Microchip Technology's portfolio. It serves as a critical building block for frequency generation and measurement equipment. The device complements other RF solutions by providing precise division capabilities in a small form factor suitable for modern compact wireless devices.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Microchip substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic cross-references may not match the 20 GHz performance or 24-QFN package dimensions. Validate any substitute part against the original datasheet specifications to ensure functional equivalence in high-frequency operations.
