Application
The SuperDivider can be used as a gen-
eral purpose, highly configurable, divider
in a variety of high frequency synthesiz-
er applications.
Pad Metallization
The QFN package pad metallization is
500-1000 micro-inches of Sn63 solder
dip.
Description
The SuperDivider is a highly programmable
integer divider covering all integer divide ratios
between 1 and 4,294,967,295 (232-1). The
device features single-ended or differential
inputs and outputs. 3-wire serial control inputs
are CMOS and LVTTL compatible for ease
of system integration. The SuperDivider is
packaged in a 24-pin, 4 mm x 4 mm leadless
ceramic surface mount package.
A Windows PC user interface is available with
the eval board (UXN14M32KE). The interface
makes it convenient to adjust the output
amplitude and the divide ratio. It is powered
by USB bus so it is easy to use. Just plug the
UXN14M32KE into your PC, install the Mi-
crosemi software, and you are using the most
powerful frequency divider on the market.

Programming Divide Ration
Note: Maximum CLK frequency is estimated to be 30 MHz.
Equation 1
Divider Modulus = N = P0 · 20 + P1 · 21 + P2 · 22 + ... + P31 · 231
for 1 < N < (232-1)
Note: When N=0, HLD must be pulled high to ensure that the output does not enter meta-stable state.
