Description
The ZL40810 is one of a range of 5V supply, very high
speed low power prescalers for professional
applications with a fixed modulus of divide by 8. The
dividing elements are static D type flip flops and
therefore allow operation down to DC if the drive signal
is a pulse waveform with fast rise times. The output
stage has internal 50 ohm pull up giving a 1V p-p
output. See application notes for more details.

Figure 2 - Recommended circuit configuration
The above circuit diagram shows some components in dotted lines. These are optional in many applications.
1. C1 (10 µF) and C2 (10 nF) power supply decoupling capacitors may be available on the board already.
2. R3 (100 Ohm) and C8 (10 nF) can be included if further power supply decoupling is required for the first stage
biasing circuit. This may optimise the noise and jitter performance. The values are suggestions and may have to
be modified if the existing supplies are particularly noisy.
3. R1 (50 Ohm), in series with C5 (100 pF), may reduce feedthrough of the input signal to the output.
4. R2 (50 Ohm) and C7 (10 nF) will help to balance the current drawn from the power supply and may reduce volt-
age transients on the power supply line.

Evaluation Boards From Zarlink Semiconductor
Data Sheet
Zarlink Semiconductor provides prescaler evaluation boards. These are primarily for those interested in performing
their own assessment of the operation of the prescalers. The boards are supplied unpopulated and may be
assembled for single ended or differential input and output operation, type No. ZLE40008. Fully populated
evaluation boards are also available, type No. ZLE40810. Once assembled, all that is required is an RF source and
a DC supply for operation. The inputs and outputs are connected via side launch SMA connectors.

1. The device characterisation test method incremented the amplitude over the entire range of frequency and ensures that
there are no "holes" in the characteristic.

1. Pin 1 is the Vcc pin for the 1st stage bias current. In some applications e.g. if the power supply is noisy, it may
be advantageous to add further supply decoupling to this pin (i.e. an additional R, C filter, see diagram of the
recommended circuit configuration, Figure 2).
The characteristics are guaranteed by design and characterisation over the range of operating conditions unless otherwise stated:
