Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC513LP5 & HMC513LP5E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC
VCOs. The HMC513LP5 & HMC513LP5E integrate
resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor
diodes and feature half frequency and divide-by4 outputs. The VCO’s phase noise performance is
excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to
the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +7
dBm typical from a +3V supply voltage. The prescaler
function can be disabled to conserve current if not
required. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged
in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package,
and requires no external matching components.

The circuit board used in the final application
should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the
package ground leads and backside ground paddle
should be connected directly to the ground plane
similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via
holes should be used to connect the top and bottom
ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown
is available from Hittite upon request.
