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

The circuit board used in the application should use

RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should

have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground

leads and backside ground paddle should be con-

nected directly to the ground plane similar to that

shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be

used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.

The evaluation circuit board shown is available from

Hittite upon request.
