HMC1167LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC1167LP5ETR is a GaAs MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates in two frequency bands: 6.085 to 6.665 GHz and 12.17 to 13.33 GHz, with center frequencies of 6.375 GHz and 12.75 GHz respectively. The device features an integrated output divider for the higher band. It requires a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC and operates on a 5 V supply. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -86 dBc/Hz, output power of 3.5±4.5 dBm and 11±4 dBm, and a tuning slope of 2 MHz/V. The component is housed in a 32-VFQFN exposed pad package measuring 5.00 mm x 5.00 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a half-frequency output divider for the 12.17–13.33 GHz band
• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for high-frequency stability
• Provides dual-band operation covering 6.085–6.665 GHz and 12.17–13.33 GHz

Applications

• Wireless local loop systems
• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite communication terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision code and tape-and-reel quantity against the official Analog Devices datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the 32-VFQFN footprint matches the target PCB layout. Ensure the design supports the required 2 V to 13 V tuning voltage range and 5 V supply current limits. Cross-reference the RoHS status and moisture sensitivity level with current environmental compliance requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-band coverage at approximately 6 GHz and 12 GHz is required within a single package. The integrated divider simplifies circuit design for the higher frequency band. Consider the -86 dBc/Hz phase noise performance relative to system jitter requirements. Evaluate the 5.00 mm x 5.00 mm package size against available board space constraints.

Part Context

The HMC1167LP5ETR belongs to the HMC116x series of VCOs with output dividers. This series is designed for applications requiring compact solutions for multiple frequency bands. The LP5ETR suffix indicates the specific lead-free package type and reel packaging configuration used for surface-mount assembly.
