HMC732LC4B v02.0514 WIDEBAND MMIC VCO WITH BUFFER AMPLIFIER 6 - 12 GHz Typical Applications Features Low Noise wideband MMIC VCO is ideal for: Wide Tuning Bandwidth Industrial/Medical Equipment Pout: +1 dBm Test & Measurement Equipment Low SSB Phase Noise: -95 dBc/Hz 100 kHz Military Radar, EW & ECM No External Resonator Needed Single Positive Supply: +5V 57 mA 24 Lead Ceramic 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC732LC4B 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 HMC732LC4B VCO operates from a single +5V supply, consumes only 57 mA of current, and is housed in a RoHS compliant SMT package. This wideband VCO uniquely combines the attributes of ultra small size, low phase noise, low power consumption, and wide tuning range.
