HMC3716LP4ETR

RF Detectors Overview

The HMC3716LP4ETR is a high-speed digital phase frequency detector (PFD) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 1.3 GHz and supports input power levels from -10 dBm to 5 dBm. The component is housed in a 24-lead VFQFN package with an exposed pad, designed for surface-mount technology applications.

RF Detectors Feature Summary

• Integrates a lock detect function for system status monitoring
• Includes an invert function for flexible phase alignment
• Utilizes HBT technology for high-speed digital operation

RF Detectors Applications

• Precision RF frequency synthesis systems
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) implementations
• VCO phase locking using differential loop amplifiers

RF Detectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETR against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm reel packaging and tape specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles for the 24-VFQFN exposed pad package. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for moisture sensitivity levels and recommended soldering conditions prior to assembly.

RF Detectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a digital PFD with integrated lock detection and inversion capabilities is required for frequencies up to 1.3 GHz. Consider the 24-VFQFN package constraints and thermal requirements associated with the exposed pad design. Evaluate the -10 dBm to 5 dBm input power range against the system's signal levels to ensure proper operation without saturation or loss of lock.

RF Detectors Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC3716 series of RF detectors and phase-frequency detectors. It is the tape-and-reel version of the HMC3716LP4E evaluation chip, optimized for automated surface-mount manufacturing processes while maintaining the same functional characteristics for RF phase detection applications.
