HMC369LP3

Overview

The HMC369LP3 is an active miniature x2 frequency multiplier utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT technology. It operates within a frequency range of 9.9 GHz to 12.7 GHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, with a typical operating current of 46 mA. It dissipates up to 440 mW of power. The component is housed in a 16-lead QFN package measuring 3x3 mm. It supports surface mount installation and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Active frequency multiplication by a factor of two using InGaP GaAs HBT technology
• Compact 3x3 mm leadless QFN surface mount package design
• Operational capability within the X-band frequency spectrum

Applications

• X-band radar systems
• Microwave communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., LP3 vs LP3E) against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct compliance and packaging specifications. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may indicate discontinuation or limited stock for this component. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design requirements and regulatory standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-frequency multiplier is required for X-band applications. Ensure the input drive level matches the active multiplier requirements specified in the electrical characteristics. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the 16-QFN thermal pad for adequate heat dissipation given the 440 mW power dissipation rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC369 series of active frequency multipliers from Analog Devices. It shares the same core functionality and package type as the HMC369LP3E variant, differing primarily in manufacturing lot or minor specification details defined by the suffix. Both variants utilize the same InGaP GaAs HBT process for high-performance microwave operation.

Replacement Considerations

The HMC369LP3E is a confirmed substitute part number within the same product family. Verify pinout and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
