515LP5E

HMC515LP5 / 515LP5E v03.0811 MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT & DIVIDE-BY-4, 11.5 - 12.5 GHz Features Dual Output: Fo = 11.5 - 12.5 GHz Fo/2 = 5.75 - 6.25 GHz Pout: +10 dBm Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ. No External Resonator Needed 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm² Typical Applications Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, Divide-by-4 Outputs for: • VSAT Radio • Point to Point/Multipoint Radio • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls • Military End-Use Functional Diagram General Description The HMC515LP5 & HMC515LP5E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs. The HMC515LP5 & HMC515LP5E 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 +10 dBm typical from a +5V 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. 8 VCOS with Fo/2 OUTPUT - SMT Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc1, Vcc2 = +5V Parameter Frequency Range Fo Fo/2 RFOUT RFOUT/2 RFOUT/4 +6 +3 -9 -110 Vtune Icc1 & Icc2 2 160 200 13 240 10 2 1/2 3/2 2nd 3rd 30 35 24 40 8 6 1.2 Min.

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.
