Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC511LP5 & HMC511LP5E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs.
TheHMC511LP5&HMC511LP5Eintegrateresonators,
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.
