DS8673/DS8674 Low Power VHF/UHF Prescalers
General Description
The DS8673 and DS8674 products are low power prescalers which divide by 64 and 256 respectively. The devices
are used in frequency synthesis applications such as TV/
CATV, cellular phone, and instrumentation to divide a very
high frequency down to a frequency usable by low power
MOS PLL’s.
The devices have differential buffered inputs and complementary ECL outputs. The inputs provide high input sensitivity and good isolation. The DS8673 is pin compatible with
Plessey’s SP4531, SP4632, and Motorola’s MC12073 prod-

and Motorola’s MC12074 products.

Note 1: ‘‘Absolute Maximum Ratings’’ are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. Except for ‘‘Operating Temperature Range’’
they are not meant to imply that the devices should be operated at these limits. The table of ‘‘Electrical Characteristics’’ provides conditions for actual device
