The HMC905LP3E is a SiGe BiCMOS low noise programmable frequency divider in a 3x3 mm leadless surface mount package. The circuit can be programmed to divide from N = 1 to N = 4 in the 400 MHz to 6 GHz input frequency range. The high level output power (up to 6 dBm single ended) with a very low SSB phase noise and 50% duty cycle makes this device ideal for low noise clock generation, LO generation and LO drive applications. Configurable bias and output power controls allow current consumption and output power control. The device incorporates a power down feature, good input to output isolation and fast start up time. The HMC905LP3E can be included into fast switching "ping-pong" applications.APPLICATIONSLO Generation with Low Noise FloorSoftware Defined RadiosClock GeneratorsFast Switching SynthesizersMilitary ApplicationsTest EquipmentSensors
