General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC363S8G & HMC363S8GE are low noise
Divide-by-8 Static Dividers with InGaP GaAs HBT
technology in 8 lead surface mount plastic packages.
This device operates from DC (with a square wave
input) to 12 GHz input frequency with a single +5V
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 for Evaluation PCB 104631 [1]
The circuit board used in the 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 con-
nected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient 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 evaluation board is
designed for single ended input testing. J2 and J3
provide differential output signals.
