General Description

The HMC251MS8 is a low noise divide-by-2 GaAs MMIC prescaler in an 8 lead surface mount MSOP plastic package. This device operates from 3.0 to 6.5 GHz (input frequency) with a single +5V DC supply while drawing only 27 mA of current. The low residual phase noise of this prescaler helps the user maintain good system noise performance.
