HMC632LP5 / 632LP5E
MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT
& DIVIDE-BY-4, 14.25 - 15.65 GHz
v03.0811
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC632LP5(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunc-
tion Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCO. The
HMC632LP5(E) integrates resonators, negative resis-
tance devices, varactor diodes and features 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 +9 dBm typical from a +5V
supply voltage. The prescaler and RF/2 functions 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 = 14.25 - 15.65 GHz
Fo/2 = 7.125 - 7.825 GHz
Pout: +9 dBm
Phase Noise: -107 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ.
No External Resonator Needed
32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm²
Typical Applications
The HMC632LP5(E) is ideal for:
• Point to Point/Multipoint Radio
• Test Equipment & Industrial Controls
• SATCOM
• Military End-Use
