HMC1165LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC1165LP5ETR is a GaAs MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for RF and microwave applications. It operates in two distinct frequency bands: 11.07 GHz to 11.62 GHz and 5.535 GHz to 5.81 GHz, offering dual output capabilities including a half-frequency output. The device features a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC with a push of 10 MHz/V. It delivers an output power of 8 dBm at the fundamental frequency and 5 dBm at the half-frequency, while maintaining a phase noise of -88 dBc/Hz. The component requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.5 V, drawing a current of 310 mA. It is housed in a QFN-32 package measuring 5 mm x 1 mm and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-output architecture providing simultaneous fundamental and half-frequency signals
• GaAs MMIC technology optimized for high-frequency stability
• Integrated harmonic suppression reducing secondary harmonic content

Applications

• VSAT communication systems
• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite ground station uplink modules

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the received part matches the specific suffix LP5ETR for reel packaging. Request batch-specific datasheets and RoHS compliance documentation prior to final acceptance. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity levels specified in the manufacturing data sheet to prevent package degradation during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-band operation covering Ka-band and C-band frequencies is required within a single compact footprint. Consider the 310 mA current consumption against available power budgets. Evaluate the 10 MHz/V tuning sensitivity against loop filter design constraints. Compare the -88 dBc/Hz phase noise specification against system jitter requirements. Verify that the 5.5 V maximum supply voltage aligns with the target power rail infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC1165 series of GaAs VCOs, which are engineered for robust performance in satellite and wireless infrastructure environments. The series utilizes advanced MMIC processes to achieve high linearity and low phase noise. The LP5ETR variant specifically denotes the surface-mount LFCSP package configuration with tape-and-reel delivery, facilitating automated high-volume manufacturing integration.

Replacement Considerations

HMC1168LP5E offers similar VCO functionality but operates at different frequency ranges (9.65-10.41 GHz). HMC510LP5ETR provides comparable dual-output features but targets lower frequencies (8.45-9.55 GHz). Direct substitution requires verification of frequency overlap and pin compatibility.
