v01.1009
PHASE-LOCKED OSCILLATOR, 14.7 - 15.4 GHz
Typical Applications
Phase-Locked Oscillator for: • VSAT Radio • Point-to-Point & Point-to-Multi-Point Radio • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls • Military End-Use
Features
Pout: +9 dBm Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 KHz Typ. Single Supply: +5V @ 340 mA +12V @ 28 mA 24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 9 mm2
Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC535LP4 & HMC535LP4E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC PLOs. The PLO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +9 dBm typical from a +5V supply voltage. All functions (VCO, Op-Amp, PFD, Prescaler) are fully integrated while providing allowances for off-chip customer specific loop components. The PLO MMIC accepts a single-ended or a differential reference oscillator input signal in the range of 230 to 240 MHz, and a digital Lock Detector (LD) output is provided to confirm the status of the loop. The phase-locked oscillator is packaged in a leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm surface mount package.

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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
