General Description
The HMC364 is a low noise Divide-by-2 Static
Divider with InGaP GaAs HBT technology that has
a small size of 1.14 x 0.69 mm. This device oper-
ates from DC (with a square wave input) to 13 GHz
input frequency with a single +5V DC supply. The low
additive SSB phase noise of -145 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz
offset helps the user maintain good system noise
performance.

PWR SEL
In the low power mode, the power select pin is left floating.
By grounding this pin, the output power is increased by
approximately 10 dB.
9
PWR DWN
The power down pin is grounded for normal operation.
Applying 5 volts to this pin will power down this device.
10
DISABLE
The disable pin is grounded for normal operation.
Applying 5 volts to this pin will disable the input buffer amplifier.
