HMC584LP5ETR

Overview

The HMC584LP5ETR is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, operating within the 12.5 GHz to 13.9 GHz frequency range. It features an integrated Fo/2 output and a Divide-by-4 divider. The device operates on a single supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, drawing a current of 380 mA. It utilizes a tuning voltage range of 2 VDC to 12 VDC with a sensitivity of 20 MHz/V. Key performance metrics include a phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz and secondary harmonic suppression of 34 dBc. The component is housed in a QFN-32 package measuring 5.1 mm x 5.1 mm x 1 mm.
