GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC862A is a low noise, programmable frequency divider
in a 3 mm × 3 mm, leadless, surface-mount package. The
frequency divider, N, can be programmed to divide from 1,
2, 4, or 8 in the 0.1 GHz to 24 GHz input frequency range.
The low phase noise, wide frequency range, and flexible division
ratio make this device ideal for high performance and wideband
communication systems.

A square wave input is recommended to be below 650 MHz for best phase noise performance. If a sine wave input below 650 MHz is used, it is recommended that the
drive level be >5 dBm for best operation, including phase noise. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
