General Description

the HMC783LP6Ce is a fully functioned Fractional-n Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) with an Integrated Voltage

Controlled Oscillator (VCO). the input reference frequency range is 100 kHz to 220 MHz while the advanced delta-

sigma modulator design in the fractional PLL allows both ultra-fine step sizes and very low spurious products. the

highly integrated structure provides excellent phase noise performance over temperature, shock and process. the

HMC783LP6Ce is packaged in a leadless QFn 6 x 6 mm surface mount package. the output power is 11 dBm typical,

making the HMC783LP6Ce ideal for driving the LO port of many of Hittite’s Hi Linearity and I/Q mixer products.

For theory of operation and register map refer to the “PLLs w/ Integrated VCO - Microwave VCOs” Operating Guide.
