HMC511LP5 / 511LP5E v00.0506 MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY OUTPUT 9.05 - 10.15 GHz Typical Applications Features Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, for: • VSAT Radio Dual Output: Fo = 9.05 - 10.15 GHz Fo/2 = 4.525 - 5.075 GHz • Point to Point/Multi-Point Radio Pout: +13 dBm • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls Phase Noise: -115 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ. • Military End-Use No External Resonator Needed QFN Leadless SMT Package, 25 mm2 Functional Diagram The HMC511LP5 & HMC511LP5E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs. The HMC511LP5 & HMC511LP5E integrate resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes and feature a half frequency output. The VCO’s phase noise performance is excellent over temperature, shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure. Power output is +13 dBm typical from a +5V supply. 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 General Description Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc = +5V Parameter Frequency Range Power Output Min.
