HMC534LP5TR

Overview

The HMC534LP5TR is a GaAs MMIC Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, operating in the 10.6 GHz to 11.8 GHz frequency range. It features dual outputs: the fundamental frequency (Fo) and a divided-by-two output (Fo/2). The device delivers a typical output power of +11 dBm at Fo with a phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset. It requires no external resonator and operates on a single supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, drawing approximately 380 mA. The tuning voltage range spans 2 VDC to 12 VDC. Packaged in a compact 32-lead QFN (5x5 mm) surface-mount package, it supports operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-output architecture providing both fundamental frequency and half-frequency signals without external components
• Ultra-low phase noise performance optimized for high-frequency applications
• Integrated design eliminates the need for external resonators or discrete filtering

Applications

• Low noise MMIC VCO systems requiring half-frequency and divide-by-4 outputs
• Test equipment and industrial control instrumentation
• Satellite communication (SATCOM) transceivers
• Military end-use RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to soldering. Ensure ESD protection protocols are followed during handling. Check for specific tape and reel packaging requirements compatible with automated assembly lines. Validate that the supplier provides traceable documentation matching the HMC534LP5TR part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-phase-noise VCO is required for the 10.6–11.8 GHz band. It is suitable for designs needing simultaneous fundamental and harmonic outputs. Consider the 380 mA current draw and 5.25 V maximum supply limits. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the small QFN-32 footprint. Compare against other HMC5xx series parts if different frequency ranges or output configurations are needed.

Part Context

The HMC534LP5TR belongs to the HMC5xx series of ultra-low phase noise MMIC VCOs from Analog Devices. These devices utilize GaAs InGaP HBT technology for high performance in a small form factor. The series typically covers frequencies from 8 GHz to 14 GHz. This specific model integrates the oscillator core and buffer amplifiers into a single chip, simplifying PCB layout compared to discrete solutions.
