HMC1161LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC1161LP5ETR is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, designed for VSAT applications. It operates in the frequency range of 8.71 GHz to 9.55 GHz with a half-frequency output option of 4.355 GHz to 4.775 GHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.5 V and draws up to 300 mA. It features a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC and offers a typical phase noise of -90 dBc/Hz. Output power levels are specified at 11 dBm and 4 dBm, with secondary harmonics suppressed by at least 20 dBc. The component is housed in a compact 32-VFQFN package measuring 5 mm x 5 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-output frequency capability within a single MMIC structure
• Optimized for low phase noise performance in satellite communication systems
• Utilizes surface-mount QFN packaging for efficient board space utilization

Applications

• VSAT ground station equipment
• Satellite communication transceivers
• Microwave radio links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against the manufacturer's current datasheet revision to ensure compatibility with design requirements. Confirm that the 32-VFQFN exposed pad footprint matches the PCB layout specifications. Check for any recent updates to the RoHS compliance status or moisture sensitivity level classifications prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-frequency VCO with integrated frequency division is required for VSAT architectures. Ensure the design accommodates the 300 mA current draw and the 2 V to 13 V tuning voltage range. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the 5x5 mm QFN package relative to the system's operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
