The MC12079 is a single modulus divide by 64, 128, 256 prescaler for low
power frequency division of a 2.8 GHz (typical) high frequency input signal.
Divide ratio control inputs SW1 and SW2 select the required divide ratio of
÷64, ÷128, or ÷256.
An external load resistor is required to terminate the output. A 1.2 kΩ
resistor is recommended to achieve a 1.6 Vpp output swing, when dividing a
1.1 GHz input signal by the minimum divide ratio of 64, assuming a 12 pF
load. Output current can be minimized dependent on conditions such as
output frequency, capacitive load being driven, and output voltage swing
required. Typical values for load resistors are included in the V
specification for various divide ratios at 2.8 GHz input frequency .
• 2.8 GHz Toggle Frequency
• Supply Voltage 4.5 to 5.5 V
• Low Power 9mA Typical at V
