HMC370LP4ETR

Overview

The HMC370LP4ETR is an active frequency multiplier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for operation within the 14.4 GHz to 16.4 GHz output frequency range. It utilizes GaAs InGaP technology and is housed in a QFN-24 surface-mount package. The device operates on a power supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, drawing a typical working current of 55 mA. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C with a maximum power dissipation of 530 mW.

Feature Summary

• Integrates active multiplication circuitry for signal frequency generation
• Utilizes exposed pad QFN package for thermal management
• Operates as a standalone RF component without external tuning elements

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Local oscillator generation in transceivers
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lot traceability prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions meet manufacturer specifications to prevent moisture damage. Validate pinout alignment with design schematics before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed multiplication factor is required within the specified Ka-band range. Consider the QFN-24 footprint constraints and thermal requirements during PCB layout. Evaluate power supply stability needs due to the specific voltage and current ratings provided in the datasheet.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC370 series of RF multipliers. It shares the same functional core with the HMC370LP4 variant, differing primarily in packaging configuration. The LP4 suffix indicates a leadless plastic quad flat package suitable for high-volume surface mount applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the HMC370LP4. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when swapping between ETR (reel) and non-ETR variants.
