HMC510LP5

Overview

The HMC510LP5 is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 8.45 GHz to 9.55 GHz and features dual outputs, including a fundamental frequency output and a half-frequency output. The device delivers a typical output power of +13 dBm with a phase noise of -116 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset. It requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V and draws a maximum current of 360 mA. The tuning voltage range spans from 2 VDC to 13 VDC. The component is housed in a compact 32-lead QFN package measuring 5.1 mm x 5.1 mm x 1 mm.

Feature Summary

• Dual output configuration providing both fundamental frequency and divided-by-two signals without external resonators
• Integrated MMIC design eliminates the need for external tuning components or resonators
• Low phase noise performance suitable for high-fidelity signal generation applications

Applications

• Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio systems
• Test equipment requiring stable high-frequency sources
• Industrial communication modules

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates non-compliance in some listings. Confirm package type is QFN-32 and check moisture sensitivity levels before soldering. Ensure supply voltage limits are strictly maintained within 4.75 V to 5.25 V to prevent device damage. Validate that the specific part number matches the required frequency range and output specifications for your design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-output VCO with integrated divide-by-two functionality is required. It is appropriate for designs needing low phase noise at millimeter-wave frequencies. Consider the 360 mA current consumption and 5 V supply requirement for power budget calculations. The small form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC510 series of MMIC VCOs from Analog Devices. It is designed for high-frequency applications where size and integration are critical. The series typically includes variants with different packaging or trimming options. The HMC510LP5 specifically denotes the leadless plastic QFN package version optimized for surface mount technology.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts if considering alternatives. Check if other HMC510 series variants meet the specific frequency and output requirements.
