HMC-C070 v03.0110 MicroSynth™ INTEGRATED SYNTHESIZER MODULE, 5.5 - 10.5 GHz Features Extremely Compact, Broadband Synthesizer 24-Bit Step Size Resolution, 1.2 Hz typ Auto and Triggered Sweeper Functions Integrated Low Noise Voltage Regulators Hermetic Module Typical Applications Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C The HMC-C070 is ideal for: Class 2 ESD Rating (2 kV) • Military Radar, EW & ECM • Test & Measurement Equipment • Lab Instrumentation Functional Diagram MICROSYNTHS 3 • Industrial/Medical Equipment General Description The HMC-C070 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 5.5 to 10.5 GHz with an average output power of +21 dBm, which is enough to drive two mixers. In fractional-N mode, the HMC-C070 can realize step sizes as low as 1.2 Hz. The HMC-C070 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.
