HMC573LC3BTR-R5

Overview

The HMC573LC3BTR-R5 is a surface-mount GaAs MMIC frequency multiplier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within an output frequency range of 8 GHz to 22 GHz, functioning as an x2 active multiplier. The device requires a single positive supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, typically 5 V, with a maximum power dissipation of 719 mW and a typical operating current of 92 mA. Packaged in a compact 12-lead QFN (3x3 mm) with an exposed pad, it supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and includes moisture sensitivity classification for standard reflow soldering processes.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an active x2 frequency multiplication stage on a single GaAs monolithic chip
• Provides direct output coverage across the 8 GHz to 22 GHz spectrum
• Utilizes a low-profile 12-lead QFN package with an exposed thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation
• Operates on a single 5 V supply rail with minimal external component requirements

Applications

• Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) receiver front-ends
• VSAT communication system local oscillators
• Millimeter-wave test and measurement instrumentation
• Point-to-point microwave radio links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R5' indicates reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm that the base part number HMC573LC3B corresponds to the same functional specifications and pinout. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards if required by your manufacturing process. Check for updated moisture sensitivity levels prior to storage or assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution is needed for generating higher frequencies from lower reference signals. The GaAs technology offers performance suitable for DBS and VSAT bands. Consider the 12-QFN footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 92 mA current draw against available power budgets in portable or battery-assisted systems.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC573 series of RF multipliers designed for high-frequency applications. It complements other Analog Devices MMICs used in signal generation chains. The family focuses on providing stable multiplication factors with integrated amplification stages to drive subsequent mixer or oscillator loads directly.

Replacement Considerations

HMC573LC3BTR-R5 serves as the taped-and-reeled variant of the HMC573LC3B bare die or cut-tape version. No cross-manufacturer substitutes are documented in the provided data.
