HMC534LP5E

HMC534LP5 / 534LP5E v00.0606 MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT & DIVIDE-BY-4, 10.6 - 11.8 GHz Typical Applications Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, Divide-by-4 Outputs for: • Point to Point/Multipoint Radio • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls • SATCOM • Military End-Use Features Dual Output: Fo = 10.6 - 11.8 GHz Fo/2 = 5.3 - 5.9 GHz Pout: +11 dBm Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ. No External Resonator Needed QFN Leadless SMT Package, 25 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC534LP5 & HMC534LP5E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs. The HMC534LP5 & HMC534LP5E 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. 11 VCOS & PLOs - SMT Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc (Dig), Vcc (Amp), Vcc (RF) = +5V Parameter Frequency Range Fo Fo/2 RFOUT RFOUT/2 RFOUT/4 +9 +8 -9 -110 Vtune Icc(Dig) + Icc(Amp) + Icc(RF) 2 310 350 12 380 10 2 1/2 3/2 2nd 3rd 27 23 17 31 2 20 1.3 Min.
