HMC511LP5/511LP5E

v06.0114

MMIC VCO WITH HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT

9.05 - 10.15 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC511LP5 & HMC511LP5E are GaAs InGaP

Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs.

The HMC511LP5 & HMC511LP5E integrate resonators,

negative resistance devices, varactor diodes and

feature a half frequency output. The VCO’s phase

noise performance is excellent over temperature,

shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic

structure. Power output is +13 dBm typical from a +5V

supply. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged

in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package,

and requires no external matching components.

Dual Output: Fo = 9.05 - 10.15 GHz

Fo/2 = 4.525 - 5.075 GHz

Pout: +13 dBm

Phase Noise: -115 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ.

No External Resonator Needed

32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm²

Typical Applications

Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, for:

• VSAT Radio

• Point to Point/Multi-Point Radio

• Test Equipment & Industrial Controls

• Military End-Use
