Hittite's New MMIC Divide-by-3 Sets Bandwidth Benchmark
-- Low Noise MMIC Performs Divide-by-1 and Divide-by-3 Functionality to 13 GHz
Chelmsford,
MA, October 20, 2011 – Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions
for communication & military markets, announces the release of a new low noise programmable frequency divider
which is ideal for use in signal generation architectures found in test equipment, laboratory systems and various
military applications.
The
HMC861LP3E
is a Low Noise Programmable Frequency Divider which can be programmed to divide-by-1 or divide-by-3, and accepts
input frequencies from 100 MHz to 13 GHz. The
HMC861LP3E
exhibits extremely low additive phase noise of -152 dBc/Hz in divide-by-1 mode, and -153 dBc/Hz in divide-by-3
mode. This versatile frequency divider accepts input signal levels from -10 to +10 dBm, while delivering +2 dBm of
output power. The wide input frequency and power level ranges, and the low single sideband phase noise make the
HMC861LP3E
ideal for synthesizer and phase locked loop applications in wideband and high data rate communication systems.
The
division ratio of the
HMC861LP3E
is selected by a single CMOS compatible input and the device is powered from a +5V supply. The
HMC861LP3E
is the only known MMIC divide-by-3 available in the marketplace which operates to 13 GHz.
The HMC861LP3E
is conveniently housed in a miniature 3x3 mm RoHS compliant QFN leadless SMT package and is specified for
operation over -40 °C to +85 °C. Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available
from stock and can be ordered via the company’s e-commerce site or via direct purchase order. Released data sheets
are available on-line at
www.hittite.com.
