HMC584LP5E

Overview

The HMC584LP5E is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 12.5 GHz to 13.9 GHz and features an on-chip half-frequency output. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, drawing a current of 380 mA. It utilizes a tuning voltage range from 2 VDC to 12 VDC with a sensitivity of 20 MHz/V. Key performance metrics include a phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz and a secondary harmonic level of 34 dBc. The component is housed in a QFN-32 package and supports operation temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a voltage-controlled oscillator with a dedicated half-frequency output for simplified system architecture.
• Delivers low phase noise performance suitable for high-frequency signal generation applications.
• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology to ensure reliable operation across a wide temperature range.

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave communication systems
• Local oscillator sources for radar transceivers
• Test and measurement equipment requiring stable high-frequency signals

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as this component may be subject to limited supply conditions or factory special orders. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package and tape/reel configuration. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity levels prior to integration into surface-mount assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires a compact, single-chip solution for generating frequencies above 12 GHz with an integrated sub-harmonic output. Consider the 380 mA current consumption and 5 V supply requirement for power budgeting. Evaluate the thermal management needs for the QFN-32 package given the operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics.
