Overview
The HMC438MS8GE is a low-noise, divide-by-5 static divider produced by Analog Devices Inc. Utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT (Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) technology, this component is designed for high-frequency applications ranging from DC to 7 GHz. It is packaged in an 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP) with an exposed pad, making it suitable for surface mount applications. The device operates from a single +5V DC supply and is known for its low additive SSB (Single Side Band) phase noise, which helps maintain good system noise performance.
