HMC830LP6GETR

The HMC830LP6GE is a low-noise, wideband Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) featuring an integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This device is capable of generating frequencies ranging from 25 MHz to 3000 MHz. Its integrated Phase Detector (PD) and delta-sigma modulator operate at up to 100 MHz, enabling wider loop-bandwidths with excellent spectral performance.

The HMC830LP6GE boasts industry-leading phase noise and spurious performance across all frequencies, minimizing blocker effects and improving receiver sensitivity and transmitter spectral purity. The superior noise floor, below -170 dBc/Hz, makes it an ideal source for various applications.

Key features include an RF bandwidth of 25-3000 MHz, a maximum phase detector rate of 100 MHz, and ultra-low phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz typical. It offers a Figure of Merit (FOM) of -227 dBc/Hz and less than 180 fs RMS jitter. The device has a 24-bit step size, providing a resolution of 3 Hz typical, and supports an exact frequency mode. It is housed in a 40-lead 6x6 mm Surface Mount package.

Typical applications include cellular/4G infrastructure, repeaters and femtocells, communications test equipment, CATV equipment, phased array applications, and DDS replacement. It serves as a tunable reference source for spurious-free performance and is suitable as an LO for RF mixers or a clock source for high-frequency data converters.
