More Information on Dividers...

What is a Divider?

A frequency divider is a circuit that takes an input signal of a frequency fin and generates an output signal of a frequency fout, where fout = fin / n and ‘‘n’’ is an integer. Frequency dividers are used for both analog and digital applications. Analog frequency dividers are used only at very high frequencies. Digital dividers can work up to tens of GHz.

Types of Dividers

There are many different kinds of dividers. At Future Electronics we stock many of the most common types categorized by supply current, supply voltage, frequency range, packaging type and input power. The parametric filters on our website can help refine your search results depending on the required specifications.

The most common sizes for supply current are 4.5 mA, 5.3 mA and 30 mA. We also carry dividers with supply current up to 37 mA. Frequncy can range from 100 MHz to 5 GHz, with the most common sizes being 1 GHz, 1.1 GHz and 3 GHz.
