HMC535LP4 / 535LP4E v01.1009 PHASE-LOCKED OSCILLATOR, 14.7 - 15.4 GHz Typical Applications Features Phase-Locked Oscillator for: Pout: +9 dBm • VSAT Radio Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 KHz Typ. • Point-to-Point & Point-to-Multi-Point Radio • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls Single Supply: +5V @ 340 mA +12V @ 28 mA • Military End-Use 24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 9 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC535LP4 & HMC535LP4E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC PLOs. The PLO’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 +5V supply voltage. All functions (VCO, Op-Amp, PFD, Prescaler) are fully integrated while providing allowances for off-chip customer specific loop components. The PLO MMIC accepts a single-ended or a differential reference oscillator input signal in the range of 230 to 240 MHz, and a digital Lock Detector (LD) output is provided to confirm the status of the loop. The phase-locked oscillator is packaged in a leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm surface mount package.

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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink.
