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.
