General Description
The HMC364S8G is a low noise Divide-by-2
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 12.5 GHz input frequency with a single
+5.0V DC supply. The low additive SSB phase
noise of -145 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the
user maintain good system noise performance.

The circuit board used in the final 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 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.
