HMC1164LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC1164LP5ETR is a GaAs MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) featuring an integrated frequency divider for half-frequency output. It operates in two bands: 10.38 GHz to 11.30 GHz and 5.19 GHz to 5.65 GHz. The device utilizes a 5 V supply with a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC. Key electrical specifications include an output power of 8 dBm, typical phase noise of -86 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, and a tuning slope of 8 MHz/V. It is housed in a compact QFN-32 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a frequency divider to provide simultaneous fundamental and half-frequency outputs
• Utilizes GaAs technology for ultra-low phase noise performance across wide bandwidths
• Operates on a single 5 V supply with standard 2 V to 13 V tuning voltage requirements

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Local oscillator sources for satellite communication systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation requiring low phase noise
• Radar transceiver modules

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm the specific suffix matches the required reel packaging configuration. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation to mitigate counterfeit risks associated with high-frequency RF components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-band operation covering both X-band and Ku-band frequencies is required from a single footprint. The integrated divider simplifies circuit design by eliminating external division logic. Evaluate thermal management capabilities within the QFN-32 package against system power dissipation limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC116x series of MMIC VCOs designed for wideband applications without compromising phase noise. It complements other family members like the HMC1167, which offers different center frequencies but shares similar architectural features and packaging constraints for modular RF design.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the HMC1167LP5ETR, though frequency ranges differ significantly. Cross-referencing datasheets is essential to ensure output power and phase noise metrics meet specific application thresholds before substitution.
