HMC430LP4

HMC430LP4 / 430LP4E v06.1106 MMIC VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER, 5.0 - 5.5 GHz Typical Applications Low noise MMIC VCO w/Buffer Amplifier for C-Band applications such as: • 802.11a & HiperLAN WLAN • VSAT Radios • UNII & Point-to-Point Radios Features Pout: +2 dBm Phase Noise: -103 dBc/Hz @100 kHz No External Resonator Needed Single Supply: 3V @ 27 mA 16mm2 Leadless SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC430LP4 & HMC430LP4E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs with integrated resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes, and buffer amplifiers. The VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, vibration and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is 2 dBm typical from a 3.0V supply voltage. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a low cost leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm surface mount package. 10 VCOS & PLOs - SMT Electrical Specifications, 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 -15 -25 12 12 0.8 0 27 10 -1 Min.
