HMC513LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC513LP5ETR is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, operating in the 10.43 GHz to 11.46 GHz frequency range. It integrates an Fo/2 output and a Div/4 output for flexible signal distribution. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V and draws 290 mA. It features a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC with a sensitivity of 25 MHz/V. Key performance metrics include -110 dBc/Hz phase noise and 15 dBc second harmonic suppression. It is housed in a QFN-32 package measuring 5.1 mm x 5.1 mm x 1 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates fundamental frequency output alongside divided outputs (Fo/2 and Div/4) to simplify system architecture.
• Provides low phase noise performance suitable for high-frequency communication applications.
• Operates within a standard single-supply voltage range with defined current consumption.
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount QFN-32 package for efficient PCB layout.

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio systems
• Local oscillator sources in radar transceivers
• Test and measurement instrumentation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Check for recent Product Change Notices (PCNs) regarding manufacturing site or material updates. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to reflow soldering. Validate that the specific lot date code aligns with project lifecycle requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable source above 10 GHz is required with integrated frequency division capabilities. Compare against HMC512LP5ETR if lower frequency operation around 9.6-10.8 GHz is sufficient. Evaluate power consumption and thermal dissipation needs given the 290 mA draw. Ensure the tuning voltage range matches available control circuitry. Consider the QFN-32 footprint compatibility during PCB design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC513 series of VCOs designed by Analog Devices for RF applications. It shares the QFN-32 form factor common to many HMC family components but differs in frequency range and internal divider configuration. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy discrete oscillator solutions requiring integrated division functions.

Replacement Considerations

HMC512LP5ETR offers similar functionality but operates at a lower frequency range (9.6-10.8 GHz). Verify frequency coverage requirements before substitution. No other direct cross-model replacements are documented in public specifications.
