HMC363S8G
SMT GaAs HBT MMIC
DIVIDE-BY-8, DC - 12.0 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC363S8G is a low noise Divide-by-8
Static Divider with InGaP GaAs HBT technology
in an 8 lead surface mount plastic package. This
device operates from DC (with a square wave
input) to 12 GHz input frequency with a single
+5.0V DC supply. The low additive SSB phase
noise of -153 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the
user maintain good system noise performance.
Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -153 dBc/Hz
Wide Bandwidth
Output Power: -6 dBm
Single DC Supply: +5V

Evaluation PCB
List of Materials
The circuit board used in the fi nal application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have
50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads
and backside ground slug should be connected directly
to the ground plane similar to that shown. A suffi cient
number of via holes should be used to connect the top
and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request. This evalu-
ation board is designed for single ended input testing. J2
and J3 provide differential output signals.
