General Description
The HMC494LP3 & HMC494LP3E are low noise Divide-by-8 Static Dividers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology packaged in leadless 3x3 mm QFN surface mount plastic packages. This device operates from DC (with a square wave input) to 18 GHz input frequency from a single +5V DC supply. The low additive SSB phase noise of -150 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps the user maintain excellent 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.
