HMC514LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC514LP5ETR is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 11.17 GHz to 12.02 GHz, with a center frequency of 11.595 GHz. The device incorporates internal frequency division capabilities, providing outputs at Fo/2 and Div/4, corresponding to frequencies of 5.7975 GHz and 2.89875 GHz respectively. It utilizes a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 13 VDC and requires a supply voltage between 2.75 V and 3.25 V. The typical phase noise is -110 dBc/Hz, with a tuning sensitivity of 18 MHz/V. The component draws a maximum current of 290 mA and features a secondary harmonic level of 17 dBc. It is housed in a QFN-32 package measuring 5.1 mm x 5.1 mm x 1 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates frequency division functionality to provide Fo/2 and Div/4 output signals alongside the fundamental frequency.
• Delivers low phase noise performance suitable for precision RF systems.
• Utilizes Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) technology for high-frequency operation.

Applications

• Wireless communication base stations
• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite communication transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and humidity sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to storage and handling. Ensure that the specific ordering suffix matches the required reel or cut tape packaging configuration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official datasheets to validate technical specifications before integration into design projects.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution is required for generating multiple harmonically related frequencies. The integrated Fo/2 and Div/4 outputs reduce external circuit complexity compared to discrete divider solutions. Consider the 290 mA current consumption and thermal management requirements associated with the QFN-32 package. Evaluate the 18 MHz/V tuning sensitivity against the control loop bandwidth requirements of the target application.
