onsemi MC12080 RF Prescaler 1.1 GHz, 8-Pin SOIC, 4.5-5.5V Surface Mount

The onsemi MC12080 is a high-performance RF prescaler designed for division of input frequencies in radio frequency (RF) and wireless communication applications. This device supports multiple division ratios - 10, 20, 40, and 80 - enabling it to serve a wide range of signal processing requirements in high-frequency systems. With its ability to operate at frequencies up to 1.1 GHz, the MC12080 is well-suited to modern RF receiver front ends, frequency synthesizers, and communication equipment where precise frequency division is crucial for signal integrity and channel selection.

Housed in a compact 8-pin surface-mount SOIC package, the MC12080 provides ease of PCB integration and compatibility with automated assembly lines. The package's small length of 5 mm and height of 1.5 mm ensures the device can be deployed in dense layouts typical in network infrastructure, instrumentation, or communication modules.

This prescaler features a low typical supply current draw of 3.7 mA, supporting energy-efficient operation - important for both portable and large-scale systems. It is engineered to work within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, providing flexibility for integration into varied circuit architectures. The typical output voltage of 1.2 V delivers reliable signal levels directly to subsequent logic or analog stages.

Designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, the MC12080 maintains reliable performance in industrial, laboratory, or outdoor communication system deployments. Its rugged electrical and mechanical design ensures stable frequency division even under demanding environmental conditions.

Key use cases for the MC12080 include professional RF and communications modules, test and measurement equipment, synthesizers in wireless transceivers, and any application where accurate frequency division and robust signal processing are required. The device meets the needs of manufacturing, R&D, and system engineering teams developing high-frequency electronic solutions.
