HMC532LP4ETR

Overview

The HMC532LP4ETR is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with an integrated buffer amplifier, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates in the frequency range of 7.1 GHz to 7.9 GHz using GaAs HBT technology. The device is housed in a 24-lead QFN package and requires a supply voltage of 3 V. It draws a typical current of 34 mA and delivers an output power of 2 dBm. The tuning voltage range spans from 0 VDC to 10 VDC.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a voltage-controlled oscillator with a dedicated buffer amplifier for signal isolation.

Applications

• General purpose RF applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for production lifecycle changes such as obsolescence notices. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging configuration for surface mount assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact, high-frequency VCO solution within the 7.1 to 7.9 GHz band. Consider the 24-QFN package for space-constrained layouts. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 34 mA current draw and ensure the control interface supports the specified 0 to 10 VDC tuning voltage range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC series of MMICs from Analog Devices, designed for radio frequency and microwave applications. It utilizes GaAs HBT technology to provide performance in a small form factor. The LP4E suffix indicates the lead-free package variant compatible with standard surface mount reflow soldering profiles.
