General Description
The HMC510LP5 & HMC510LP5E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs.
The HMC510LP5 & HMC510LP5E integrate resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes
and feature half frequency and divide-by-4 outputs.
The VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over
temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +13 dBm
typical from a +5V supply voltage. The prescaler and
RF/2 functions 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 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.
