HMC512LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC512LP5ETR is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices Inc., operating within the 9.6 GHz to 10.8 GHz frequency range. It features integrated Fo/2 and Div/4 outputs, housed in a compact QFN-32 package measuring 5.1 mm x 5.1 mm x 1 mm. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, drawing approximately 370 mA. Tuning is achieved via a control voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC, with a tuning sensitivity of 30 MHz/V. Key performance metrics include -110 dBc/Hz phase noise and 25 dBc second harmonic suppression.

Feature Summary

• Integrates fundamental VCO output along with divided-by-two and divided-by-four signals for flexible frequency synthesis applications.
• Utilizes HBT technology to deliver high-frequency operation with low phase noise characteristics in a surface-mountable package.

Applications

• Local oscillator sources in microwave communication systems
• Frequency synthesizers requiring multiple derived clock signals
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable high-frequency references

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to limited availability status. Confirm RoHS compliance details and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure supply chain documentation matches the specific lot codes and revision levels required for your production batch to maintain quality standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution providing fundamental, half, and quarter frequencies is required within the 9.6-10.8 GHz band. Consider the 370 mA current consumption and 5V supply requirement against system power budgets. Evaluate the QFN-32 footprint constraints and thermal management needs for PCB layout integration compared to alternative oscillators.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC512 series of voltage-controlled oscillators designed by Analog Devices. It shares the same QFN-32 package form factor and mounting style as related models like the HMC513 and HMC514, though these variants operate at different center frequencies and exhibit distinct tuning sensitivities and current ratings.
