Description
The 25673DV divide-by-8 prescaler is designed
for a wide range of communications and
broadband test and measurement applications
from DC to 25 GHz. It is typically used in high-
frequency phase-locked loop (PLL) oscillator and
signal-path down conversion circuits.
The 25673DV operates from a single +3.0 to
+3.4 V power supply and is available in die form.
This part is also available in 3 x 3 mm quad flat no
lead (QFN) plastic package, or in a 7 x 7 mm land
grid array (LGA) ceramic package. Please contact
Inphi to obtain data sheets for these versions.
The packaged parts are also available on an
evaluation board.

Notes:
1
For sine wave input signal. Prescaler will operate down to DC with a square wave signal.
2
For digital square wave inputs, the minimum input amplitude should be 300 mVpp (differential or single-ended) over
the frequency range of DC to 25 GHz. Note: The minimum slew rate needs to be 1 V/ns.
3
The Spurious Output Power measured was too low to be statistically significant.
