HMC511LP5 / 511LP5E
MMIC VCO w/ HALF FREQUENCY

General Description
Features
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.
Dual Output: Fo = 9.05 - 10.15 GHz
Fo/2 = 4.525 - 5.075 GHz
Pout: +13 dBm
Phase Noise: -115 dBc/Hz @100 kHz Typ.
No External Resonator Needed
32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm²
Typical Applications
Low noise MMIC VCO w/Half Frequency, for:
• VSAT Radio
• Point to Point/Multi-Point Radio
• Test Equipment & Industrial Controls
• Military End-Use
