HMC587LC4BTR

Overview

The HMC587LC4BTR is a wideband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for W-band applications. It operates within a frequency range of 5 GHz to 10 GHz and features an integrated buffer amplifier. The device utilizes a QFN-24 surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a tuning voltage range of 0 VDC to 18 VDC, a typical output power of 5 dBm, and a phase noise of -65 dBc/Hz. It draws a current of 75 mA and exhibits a push of 15 MHz/V with secondary harmonics at -15 dBc.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a wideband VCO core with an on-chip buffer amplifier for direct signal utilization.
• Provides high-frequency operation covering the 5 GHz to 10 GHz W-band spectrum.
• Features low phase noise performance suitable for precision radar and communication systems.

Applications

• Millimeter-wave radar systems
• Point-to-point wireless communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Request official datasheets and lot traceability documentation upon order confirmation. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity levels specified in the manufacturing data sheet to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-chip solution is required for W-band frequency generation. Consider the 5-10 GHz tuning range and integrated buffer against discrete designs for size reduction. Evaluate the 75 mA current consumption and 0-18 V tuning voltage requirements against available power supply rails and control circuitry capabilities in the target design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC587 series of wideband VCOs from Analog Devices. It shares the QFN-24 form factor and SMT mounting style with related models like the HMC587LC4BTR-R5. The series targets high-performance RF applications requiring stable oscillation across broad frequency spans without external buffering components.

Replacement Considerations

The HMC587LC4BTR-R5 is a documented variant within the same product family, differing primarily in reel packaging specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution. No other cross-model substitutes are confirmed in public documentation.
