General Description
Mimix Broadband's 2.0-16.0 GHz GaAs MMIC freqency
divider is an ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) static frequency
divider (divide-by-four) consisting of two cascaded divide-
by-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 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. This device is well suited
for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and
VSAT applications.

recommended to keep channel temperature as low as
possible for maximum life.
