CHV3241-QDG RoHS COMPLIANT Fully Integrated HBT K-band VCO GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC In QFN package Description The CHV3241-QDG is a monolithic multifunction circuit suitable for frequency generation. It integrates an X-band push-push oscillator with frequency control (VCO) thanks to base-collector diodes, used as varactors, a K-band buffer amplifier and a divider by 512. All the active devices are internally self-biased. The circuit is fully integrated on InGaP HBT technology: 2m emitter length, via holes through the substrate and high Q passive elements. The chip is delivered in a standard 24 Leads RoHS compliant QFN4x4 package. Main Features K-band VCO & K-band buffer Prescaler/512 generating 24MHz output suitable for software frequency loop Prescaler and buffer switching capability with low pulling, for optimum efficiency Fully integrated VCO (no external Resonator) Low phase noise High temperature range High output power th 4 amplifier bias usable for power setting High frequency stability On chip self biased devices RoHS SMD package: 24L-QFN4x4 Main Characteristics Symbol Parameter Min Typ Max Unit GHz F out Specified output frequency range 24 24.125 24.25 F vco Oscillator frequency F out/2 GHz GHz IF out Output Intermediate frequency (IF) F out/1024 dBm P out Output power at F out 16 dBm Pres P Output power at (IF) 0 dBc/Hz PN SSB Phase Noise F out 100kHz -94 ESD Protection: Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.

Remark: The minimum and maximum values take into account the spread due to the operating temperature and process spread. These performances have been obtained with the chip in QFN package assembled on the recommended boards (ref. 97836) described in this document. These performances are highly dependent on this environment.
