UXN6M9M/TR

Overview

The UXN6M9M/TR is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) prescaler manufactured by Microchip Technology. Designed for wireless and RF applications, this device functions as a divide-by-8 frequency divider. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 9 GHz. The component is housed in a 40-pin VFQFN package with an exposed pad, measuring 6x6 mm. It is classified under RF amplifiers and wireless & RF integrated circuits.

Feature Summary

• Integrates MMIC prescaler functionality for high-frequency signal processing
• Provides divide-by-8 frequency division capability
• Operates across a wide bandwidth from DC to 9 GHz
• Utilizes a compact 40-pin QFN package with exposed thermal pad

Applications

• RF front-end modules requiring frequency division
• Wireless communication systems operating up to 9 GHz
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing high-frequency signals
• Microwave receiver architectures

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully, as supply constraints have been reported. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel quantity. Ensure the 40-VFQFN package dimensions align with PCB layout requirements. Check for recent product change notifications regarding manufacturing updates or material substitutions before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a divide-by-8 prescaler is needed within the 0 Hz to 9 GHz range. Consider the 6x6 mm QFN footprint for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the exposed pad design. Compare against other Microchip RF ICs if different division ratios or frequency ranges are required for the specific application architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to Microchip's portfolio of wireless and RF integrated circuits. It serves as a specialized MMIC prescaler rather than a standard amplifier. The device complements other RF components by providing essential frequency division in high-speed signal chains. It is distinct from evaluation boards like the UXN14M9PE, which are used for testing similar technologies.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs if considering alternative vendors. Consult Microchip technical support for potential obsolescence notices or recommended upgrades within the same product family.
