Typical Applications
Features
Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, Divide-by-4
Outputs for:
Triple Output: Fo = 9.5 - 10.8 GHz
Fo/2 = 4.75 - 5.4 GHz
Fo/4 = 2.38 - 2.7 GHz
• Point to Point/Multipoint Radio
• Test Equipment & Industrial Controls
Pout: +11 dBm
Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ.
• SATCOM
• Military End-Use
No External Resonator Needed
32 Lead 5 x 5 mm SMT Package: 25 mm²
Functional Diagram
The HMC530LP5 & HMC530LP5E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs.
The HMC530LP5 & HMC530LP5E 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 +11 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.
