DESCRIPTION
The UPG501B is a GaAs divide-by-4 prescaler that is capable
of operating up to 5 GHz. It is intended to be used in frequency
synthesizers of microwave communications systems and
measurement equipment. The UPG501B is a static divider
with two (2) master-slave D-type flip-flops using Source-
Coupled-FET-Logic (SCFL). It operates from a single supply
voltage. The UPG501B is housed in a hermetically sealed 8-
lead ceramic flat package that is easy to use and provides high
reliability.

Note: Because of the high internal gain and gain compression of the
UPG501B, the device is subject to self-oscillation in the absence of an RF
input signal. This self-oscillation can be suppressed by either of the following
means:
• Add a shunt resistor to the RF input line. Typically a resistor
value between 50 and 1000 ohms will suppress the self-
oscillation (see the test circuit).
• Apply a negative voltage through a 1000 ohm resistor to the
normally open VGG connection. Typically voltages between 0 and
-9 volts will suppress the self-oscillation.
Both of these approaches will reduce the input sensitivity of the device (by as
much as 3 dB for a 50 ohm shunt resistor), but otherwise have no effect on
the reliability or other electrical characteristics of the device.
