Press Release - Centellax Announces 32-bit programmable SuperDivider®

SANTA ROSA, CALIF.----February 14, 2012—

Centellax announced today the release of their new SuperDivider, a 15 GHz Divide-by-1 to 2³²-1, 32-bit programmable integer divider.

The SuperDivider is a highly programmable integer divider covering all integer divide ratios between 1 and 4,294,967,245 (2³²-1). It’s versatility allows it to be used in a variety of high frequency applications.

The SuperDivider features single-ended or differential inputs and outputs. 3-wire serial control inputs are CMOS and LVTTL compatible for ease of system integration. It is packaged in a 24-pin, 4 mm x 4 mm surface mount package. It is ceramic, hermetic, and reliable. It meets MSL-1 requirements and is JEDEC MO-220 compliant. It’s also lead free (Pb), eliminating the need for costly re-qualification efforts, which are necessary to conform to the European mandated "Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances" (RoHS) compliance.

A Windows PC user interface is available for use with the eval board (UXN14M32KE). The interface makes it convenient to adjust the output amplitude and the divide ratio. It is powered by USB bus so it is easy to use. Just plug the UXN14M32KE into your PC, install the Centellax software, and you are using the most powerful frequency divider on the market!

“The SuperDivider is a powerful and flexible product. The ceramic hermetic package makes it a highly reliable option for the military. The divide-by-1 output option allows it to be used as a buffer amp. And it can also be used as a pattern trigger for test and measurement customers,” said Jeff Meyer, Chief Technical Officer at Centellax, Inc.

• Wide operating range: DC-15 GHz
• Divide ratios: 1 to 2³²-1
• Large output swings: 0.8 Vpp/side
