HMC732LC4B v02.0514 WIDEBAND MMIC VCO WITH BUFFER AMPLIFIER 6 - 12 GHz Typical Applications Features Low Noise wideband MMIC VCO is ideal for: Wide Tuning Bandwidth T • Industrial/Medical Equipment Pout: +1 dBm M • Test & Measurement Equipment Low SSB Phase Noise: -95 dBc/Hz @100 kHz S • Military Radar, EW & ECM No External Resonator Needed - Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 57 mA S O 24 Lead Ceramic 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm² C V Functional Diagram General Description D The HMC732LC4B is a wideband MMIC Voltage N Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the resonator, A negative resistance device, and varactor diode. Output B E power and phase noise performance are excellent D over temperature due to the oscillator’s monolithic I construction. The Vtune port accepts an analog tuning W voltage from 0 to +23V. The HMC732LC4B VCO operates from a single +5V supply, consumes only 57 mA of current, and is housed in a RoHS compliant SMT package. This wideband VCO uniquely combines the attributes of ultra small size, low phase noise, low power consumption, and wide tuning range.
