HMC509LP5 / 509LP5E
MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT 7.8 - 8.8 GHz
Features
Dual Output: Fo = 7.8 - 8.8 GHz Fo/2 = 3.9 - 4.4 GHz
Pout: +13 dBm Phase Noise: -115 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ. No External Resonator Needed 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm²
General Description
The HMC509LP5 & HMC509LP5E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs. The HMC509LP5 & HMC509LP5E 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.
