HMC533LP4E

Overview

The HMC533LP4E is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within the frequency range of 23.8 GHz to 24.8 GHz and features an integrated divide-by-16 divider. The device provides dual outputs: a standard output at 12 dBm and a divided output at -4 dBm. It requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, drawing a current rating of 260 mA. The tuning voltage range spans from 2 VDC to 13 VDC with a sensitivity of 80 MHz/V. Phase noise performance is specified at -95 dBc/Hz. The component is housed in a QFN-24 package measuring 4.1 mm x 4.1 mm x 1 mm and supports operation temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a divide-by-16 frequency divider for flexible signal generation
• Provides dual output ports with distinct power levels for system integration
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount QFN-24 package for PCB space efficiency

Applications

• Point-to-point wireless communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements. Validate pinout compatibility during schematic capture. Review datasheet revisions for any functional updates prior to final design approval.

Selection Notes

Evaluate phase noise requirements against application specifications. Assess thermal management needs given the 260 mA current draw. Verify tuning voltage availability within the control loop design. Consider the impact of the divide-by-16 feature on loop bandwidth stability. Ensure supply voltage regulation meets the 4.75 V to 5.25 V tolerance.
