SP8910 (MP)

5GHZ 4
410 Fixed Modulus Divider
Preliminary Information
DS4360 Issue 1.3 September 1999

The SP8910 is one of a range of very high speed low

Ordering Information
power prescalers for professional applications. The dividing
elements are static D type flip flops and therefore allow
SP8910/KG/MP1S (tubes)
operation down to DC if the drive signal is a pulse waveform
SP8910/KG/MP1T (tape and reel)
with fast risetime. The output stage has internal100 ohm
pull up resistors, giving a 0·5V p-p output. If required, an
external 100 ohm can be connected in parallel to give a
50 ohm output.
