HMC583LP5 / 583LP5E v00.0606 Typical Applications Features Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, Divide-by-4 Outputs for: Dual Output: Fo = 11.5 - 12.8 GHz Fo/2 = 5.75 - 6.4 GHz • Point to Point/Multipoint Radio Pout: +11 dBm • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ. • SATCOM No External Resonator Needed • Military End-Use QFN Leadless SMT Package, 25 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC583LP5 & HMC583LP5E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs. The HMC583LP5 & HMC583LP5E integrate resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes and feature half frequency and divide-by-4 outputs. The VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +11 dBm typical from a +5V supply voltage. The prescaler and RF/2 functions can be disabled to conserve current if not required. The voltage controlled oscillator is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package, and requires no external matching components. 11 VCOS & PLOs - SMT MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT & DIVIDE-BY-4, 11.5 - 12.8 GHz Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc (Dig), Vcc (Amp), Vcc (RF) = +5V Parameter Frequency Range Min.
