HMC6380LC4B v03.1118 WIDEBAND MMIC VCO WITH BUFFER AMPLIFIER 8.0 - 16.0 GHz Typical Applications Features Low Noise wideband MMIC VCO is ideal for: Wide Tuning Bandwidth Industrial/Medical Equipment Pout: +6 dBm Test & Measurement Equipment Low ss B Phase Noise: -92 dBc/Hz 100 kHz s atcom No External Resonator Needed Military Radar, EW, & ECM s ingle Positive s upply: +5V 75 mA Ceramic Leadless s MT Package: 16 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC6380LC4B is a wideband MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode. Output power and phase noise performance are excellent over temperature due to the oscillators monolithic construction. The Vtune port accepts an analog tuning voltage from 0 to +23V. The HMC6380LC4B VCO operates from a single +5V supply, consumes only 75 mA of current, and is housed in a RoHs compliant s MT package. This wideband VCO uniquely combines the attributes of ultra small size, low phase noise, low power consumption, and wide tuning range.
