HMC439QS16G / 439QS16GE
HBT DIGITAL PHASE-FREQUENCY
DETECTOR, 10 - 1300 MHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC439QS16G & HMC439QS16GE are digital
phase-frequency detectors intended for use in low
noise phase-locked loop applications for inputs from
10 to 1300 MHz. Its combination of high frequency
of operation along with its ultra low phase noise
oor make possible synthesizers with wide loop
bandwidth and low N resulting in fast switching and
very low phase noise. When used in conjunction with
a differential loop ampli er, the HMC439QS16G &
HMC439QS16GE generate output voltages that can
be used to phase lock a VCO to a reference oscillator.
The device is packaged in a low cost, surface mount
16 lead QSOP package with an exposed base for
improved RF and thermal performance.
Ultra Low SSB Phase Noise Floor:
-153 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset @ 100 MHz
Input up to 1300 MHz Fin.
Differential Input/Single Ended Output
Open Collector Output Buffer Ampli ers
QSOP16G SMT Package: 29.4 mm2
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc= 5V
Typical Applications
This Phase Frequency Detector is a key component
in low phase noise frequency synthesis applications
such as:
• Point-to-Point Radios
• Satellite Communication Systems
• Military Applications
• Sonet Clock Generation

best noise performance
The circuit board used in the nal application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50
ohm impedance while the package ground leads and backside ground slug should be connected 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.
