HMC-C083 v00.0710 MicroSynth® INTEGRATED SYNTHESIZER MODULE, 2 - 6 GHz MICROSYNTHS® - MODULES Features Extremely Compact, Broadband Synthesizer 24-Bit Step Size, 0.6 Hz Resolution Auto and Triggered Sweeper Functions Integrated Low Noise Voltage Regulators Hermetic Module Typical Applications Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C The HMC-C083 is ideal for: Class 2 ESD Rating (2 kV) • Military Radar, EW & ECM • Test & Measurement Equipment • Lab Instrumentation • Industrial/Medical Equipment Functional Diagram 10 General Description The HMC-C083 MicroSynth® is a fully integrated broadband synthesizer module that combines high performance SiGe, GaAs pHEMT, and InGaP HBT technologies into one compact hermetic package. The output frequency range is 2 to 6 GHz with an average output power of +17 dBm. In fractional-N mode, the HMC-C083 can realize step sizes as low as 0.6 Hz. The HMC-C083 also features fully integrated low noise regulators and an output buffer amplifier which results in superior pushing and pulling performance. This module has been designed to withstand harsh environments and can be upscreened to higher military standards upon request. For theory of operation and register map refer to the MicroSynth ® Operating Guide.
