HMC830LP6GETR

The HMC830LP6GE is a low noise, wide band, Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) that features an integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with a fundamental frequency of 1500 MHz - 3000 MHz. It includes an integrated VCO Output divider, allowing the generation of frequencies from 25 MHz to 3000 MHz. The integrated Phase detector (PD) and delta-sigma modulator operate at up to 100 MHz, enabling wider loop-bandwidths with excellent spectral performance.

This PLL features industry-leading phase noise and spurious performance across all frequencies, minimizing blocker effects and improving receiver sensitivity and transmitter spectral purity. Its superior noise floor (< -170 dBc/Hz) makes it an ideal source for various applications, including LO for RF mixers and clock sources for high-frequency data converters.

The HMC830LP6GE is housed in a 40-lead, 6x6 mm SMT package, occupying a typical area of 36 mm2. Its features include ultra-low phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz typical, a Figure of Merit (FOM) of -227 dBc/Hz, and less than 180 fs RMS jitter. It offers a 24-bit step size with a typical resolution of 3 Hz and supports an Exact Frequency Mode with a built-in digital self-test.

Typical applications include cellular/4G infrastructure, repeaters and femtocells, communications test equipment, CatV equipment, phased array applications, DDS replacement, very high data rate radios, and tunable reference sources for spurious-free performance.
