Functional Diagram
HMC430LP4 / 430LP4E
MMIC VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER, 5.0 - 5.5 GHz
Features
Pout: +2 dBm Phase Noise: -103 dBc/Hz @100 kHz No External Resonator Needed Single Supply: 3V @ 27 mA 16mm2 Leadless SMT Package
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 3V supply voltage. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a low cost leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm surface mount package.
