HMC429LP4 / 429LP4E v02.0805 MMIC VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER, 4.45 - 5.0 GHz Features Pout: +4.0 dBm Phase Noise: -105 dBc/Hz @100 KHz No External Resonator Needed Single Supply: 3V @ 30 mA QFN Leadless SMT Package, 16 mm2 Typical Applications Low noise MMIC VCO w/Buffer Amplifier for: • 802.11a, HiperLAN WLAN • VSAT, UNII & Microwave Radio • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls • Military Functional Diagram General Description The HMC429LP4 & HMC429LP4E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs with integrated resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes, and buffer amplifiers. Covering 4.45 to 5.0 GHz, the VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, vibration and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is 4.0 dBm typical from a single supply of 3.0V @ 30mA. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a low cost leadless QFN 4x4 mm surface mount package. 11 VCOS & PLOs - SMT Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc = +3V Parameter Frequency Range Power Output SSB Phase Noise @ 100 kHz Offset, Vtune= +5V @ RF Output Tune Voltage (Vtune) Supply Current (Icc) (Vcc = +3.0V) Tune Port Leakage Current Output Return Loss Harmonics 2nd 3rd Pulling (into a 2.0:1 VSWR) Pushing @ Vtune= +5V Frequency Drift Rate 6 -11 -23 10 14 0.4 0 30 10 1.0 Min.
