HMC531LP5 / 531LP5E v04.0811 MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT & DIVIDE-BY-4, 13.6 - 14.9 GHz Typical Applications Features Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, Divide-by-4 Dual Output: Fo = 13.6 - 14.9 GHz Outputs for: Fo/2 = 6.8 - 7.45 GHz VSAT Radio Pout: +7 dBm Point to Point/Multipoint Radio Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz 100 kHz Typ. Test Equipment & Industrial Controls No External Resonator Needed Military End-Use 32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC531LP5 & HMC531LP5E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs. The HMC531LP5 & HMC531LP5E integrate resona- tors, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes and feature half frequency and divide-by-4 outputs. The VCOs phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillators monolithic structure. Power output is +7 dBm typical 8 from a +5V supply voltage. The prescaler function 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.
