Functional Diagram
General Description
Phase Noise: -102 dBc/Hz @100 kHz
The HMC431LP4 & HMC431LP4E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs
with integrated resonators, negative resistance
devices, varactor diodes, and buffer amplifiers. The
VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over
temperature, shock, vibration and process due to the
oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is 2
dBm typical from a 3V supply voltage. The voltage
controlled oscillator is packaged in a low cost leadless
QFN 4 x 4 mm surface mount package.

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 exposed 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.
