24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2
Functional Diagram
The HMC736LP4(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCO. The
HMC736LP4(E) integrates a resonator, negative
resistance device, varactor diode and feature half
frequency output. The VCO’s phase noise performance
is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due
to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output
is +9 dBm typical from a +4.2V supply voltage. The
voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a leadless
QFN 4x4 mm surface mount package, and requires no
external matching components.

The circuit board used in the final application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and backside ground paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
