HMC432 / 432E
SMT GaAs HBT MMIC
DIVIDE-BY-2, DC - 8 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC432(E) is a low noise Divide-by-2 Static
Divider utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology in
ultra small surface mount SOT26 plastic packages.
This device operates from DC (with a square
wave input) to 8 GHz input frequency with a single
+3V DC supply. Single-ended inputs and outputs
reduce component count and cost. The low additive
SSB phase noise of -148 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
helps the user maintain good system noise
performance.
Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise: -148 dBc/Hz
Single-Ended I/O’s
Output Power: -3 to -9 dBm
Single DC Supply: +3V @ 42 mA
9 mm2 Ultra Small Package: SOT26
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, 50 Ohm System, Vcc= +3V
Typical Applications
Prescaler for DC to C Band PLL Applications:
• UNII, Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios
• 802.11a & HiperLAN WLAN
• Fiber Optic
• Cellular / 3G Infrastructure
1. Divider will operate down to DC for square-wave input signal.

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 should be connected 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.
