HMC732LC4BTR

Overview

The HMC732LC4BTR is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with an integrated buffer amplifier, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within the W-Band frequency range of 6 GHz to 12 GHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V and draws a current of 57 mA. It features a tuning voltage range from 0 VDC to 23 VDC with a sensitivity of 85 MHz/V. Output power is specified at 1 dBm, with secondary harmonics at -12 dBc and phase noise of -65 dBc/Hz. It is housed in a 24-lead CSMT package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a wideband VCO and buffer amplifier for simplified circuit design
• Operates across the 6 GHz to 12 GHz W-Band spectrum
• Provides high output power stability with low harmonic distortion

Applications

• Radar systems
• Wireless communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LC4BTR against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the reel packaging configuration and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution covering 6 to 12 GHz is required. Consider the 57 mA current consumption and 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply constraints. Evaluate the -65 dBc/Hz phase noise performance against system requirements. The 24-lead QFN package dictates PCB layout considerations for thermal management and RF grounding.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC732 series of wideband VCOs. It shares the same core architecture as the HMC732LC4B evaluation board assembly but is provided in surface-mount reel packaging. It complements other RF signal chain components like amplifiers and mixers in high-frequency designs.
