MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT

& DIVIDE-BY-4, 10.43 - 11.46 GHz

v04.0811

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC513LP5 & HMC513LP5E are GaAs InGaP

Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC

VCOs. The HMC513LP5 & HMC513LP5E 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 +7

dBm typical from a +3V 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.

Dual Output: Fo = 10.43 - 11.46 GHz

Fo/2 = 5.21 - 5.73 GHz

Pout: +7 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:
