HMC512LP5E Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The HMC512LP5E is a Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Hittite Microwave. This device integrates resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes, providing excellent phase noise performance over temperature, shock, and process variations due to its monolithic structure.

 

Key electrical specifications include a main output frequency range of 9.6 to 10.8 GHz, with a half frequency output (Fo/2) from 4.8 to 5.4 GHz and a quarter frequency output (Fo/4) from 2.4 to 2.7 GHz. The typical power output is +9 dBm from a +5V supply voltage. Phase noise performance is rated at -110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. The VCO operates with a tuning voltage range of 2V to 13V and has a typical pushing of 30 MHz/V.

 

Packaged in a 32-lead 5x5mm QFN surface mount package, the HMC512LP5E requires no external matching components. It is designed for applications such as point-to-point/multipoint radio, test equipment, industrial controls, SATCOM, and military end-use. The prescaler and RF/2 functions can be disabled to conserve current when not needed. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
