ZL40804 – Divide by 4
Description
The ZL40804 are Bipolar 3.45 V supply, very low
power prescalers for professional applications with a
fixed modulus of 4. The ultra low close in (10 KHz
offset) SSB phase noise performance is ideal for
narrow band communications systems or systems with
ultra low jitter budgets such as next generation fibre
optic communications. The devices are broadband
from DC to 6 GHz.
See Figure 1 and Application Note for RF Prescalers
for more details.

Circuit Options
Data Sheet
The application circuit includes some optional components that may be required to improve tolerance of system
noise present in the application.
Dummy R source
may be added to the inverting input to provide a better matched source impedance at the input.
This will improve the rejection of common mode noise present within the system.
Dummy R load
may be added to the inverting output to provide better matched load at the output. This will reduce
the radiated EMI at the output and reduce the Output Noise present on the supply rail.
Rfilter
can be inserted between the Vcc_In and the Vcc_out to provide additional filtering to the input Vcc. The
input Vcc powers the input bias reference only and can be a sensitive point to system noise. The nominal input
current at Vcc_In is 0.35 mA. An alternative would be to use an inductive choke.
C1
is additional Supply Filtering and should be added with Rfilter. The IC includes 10pF of on Chip Supply Filtering.
