Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC492LP3 & HMC492LP3E are low noise
Divide-by-2 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.
