HMC513LP5 / 513LP5E
MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT
& DIVIDE-BY-4, 10.43 - 11.46 GHz
v04.0811
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC513LP5 & HMC513LP5E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC
VCOs. The HMC513LP5 & HMC513LP5E integrate
resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor
diodes and feature half frequency and divide-by-
4 outputs. The VCO’s phase noise performance is
excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to
the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +7
dBm typical from a +3V supply voltage. The prescaler
function can be disabled to conserve current if not
required. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged
in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package,
and requires no external matching components.
Dual Output: Fo = 10.43 - 11.46 GHz
Fo/2 = 5.21 - 5.73 GHz
Pout: +7 dBm
Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 KHz Typ.
No External Resonator Needed
32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm²
Typical Applications
Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, Divide-by-4
Outputs for:
• VSAT Radio
• Point to Point/Multipoint Radio
• Test Equipment & Industrial Controls
• Military End-Use
