8SDV0500

Mimix Broadband's 2.0-16.0 GHz 8SDV0500 GaAs MMIC freqency divider is an ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) static frequency divider (divide-by-four) consisting of two cascaded divideby- two circuits. Even-order harmonic levels are minimized by driving the inputs with a balanced input signal, and by taking the output differentially, but the circuit can be operated in a single-ended fashion with unused inputs & outputs open circuit. This MMIC 8SDV0500 uses Mimix Broadband's 2 um GaAs HBT device model technology to ensure high reliability and uniformity. The chip has surface passivation to protect and provide a rugged part with backside via holes and gold metallization to allow either a conductive epoxy or eutectic solder die attach process. 8SDV0500 is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
