HMC514LP5E

Overview

The HMC514LP5E is a dual-band voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates in two distinct frequency ranges: 5.585 to 6.01 GHz and 11.17 to 12.02 GHz, with center frequencies of 5.7975 GHz and 11.595 GHz respectively. The device utilizes a 3 V nominal supply voltage and accepts a tuning voltage range of 2 V to 13 V DC. It features an integrated frequency divider circuit capable of dividing by four. The component is housed in a 32-pin LLCC plastic package with dimensions of 5.00 mm x 5.00 mm. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and draws a maximum supply current of 290 mA.

Feature Summary

• Dual-band operation covering sub-6 GHz and 12 GHz bands within a single component
• Integrated frequency division functionality for flexible system architecture
• High output power stability across the specified tuning voltage range
• Compact surface-mount packaging suitable for dense PCB layouts

Applications

• Wireless local area network (WLAN) transceivers
• Satellite communication uplink and downlink modules
• Point-to-point microwave radio systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as HMC514LP5ETR indicate tape and reel packaging which differs from the cut tape or tray configurations of other suffixes. Confirm that the required frequency band aligns with the specific operational mode intended for the design. Ensure compatibility with the 3 V supply rail and check that the tuning voltage requirements fit within the available control circuitry limits. Cross-reference the package dimensions against the mechanical constraints of the target application board.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires coverage of both 5.8 GHz and 12 GHz bands without swapping oscillators. Consider the 290 mA current consumption against the thermal management capabilities of the enclosure. Evaluate the phase noise performance relative to the system's sensitivity requirements at the specific offset frequencies. The integrated divider reduces external component count but may impact the overall phase noise profile depending on the division ratio used in the feedback loop.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC514 family of voltage-controlled oscillators manufactured by Analog Devices. These components are engineered for robust performance in RF front-end modules. The LP5E variant specifically denotes the leaded plastic package configuration. Related parts in the series may offer different frequency ranges or packaging options, but share similar internal architectures and electrical characteristics tailored for high-frequency signal generation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the HMC514LP5ETR for identical electrical specifications with tape and reel packaging. Other variants within the HMC514 series may serve as functional substitutes if frequency ranges and package footprints match the design requirements. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting to ensure correct interface connections.
