HMC739LP4ETR

Overview

The HMC739LP4ETR is an MMIC VCO from Analog Devices, operating in the 23.8 GHz to 26.8 GHz range with a half-frequency output. It features integrated divide-by-16 circuitry and utilizes a 24-VFQFN exposed pad package. The device requires a 5 V supply voltage and supports a tuning voltage range of 1 VDC to 13 VDC. Designed for high-performance RF applications, it delivers low phase noise characteristics suitable for demanding communication systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a voltage-controlled oscillator with a built-in divide-by-16 frequency divider
• Provides a dedicated half-frequency output port alongside the primary RF signal
• Utilizes MMIC technology for compact footprint and reliable high-frequency performance

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Local oscillator sources for upconversion and downconversion mixers
• Test and measurement instrumentation requiring stable millimeter-wave signals

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Request official datasheets and material compliance documentation prior to order confirmation. Ensure storage conditions meet specified environmental limits to maintain device integrity. Confirm that the 24-VFQFN package matches your PCB footprint requirements exactly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed frequency synthesis solution within the 23.8–26.8 GHz band is required. Consider the integrated divide-by-16 feature if direct frequency generation at lower harmonics is needed. Evaluate the half-frequency output capability for simplified LO distribution networks. Ensure the system design accommodates the specific 5 V power supply and tuning voltage constraints defined in the electrical specifications.
