Functional Diagram
HMC587LC4B
WIDEBAND MMIC VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER, 5 - 10 GHz
Features
Wide Tuning Bandwidth Pout: +5 dBm Low SSB Phase Noise: -95 dBc/Hz @100 kHz No External Resonator Needed Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 55 mA RoHS Compliant 4 x 4 mm SMT Package
General Description
The HMC587LC4B is a wideband GaAs InGaP
Voltage Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode. Output power and phase noise performance are excellent over temperature due to the oscillator’s monolithic construction. The Vtune port accepts an analog tuning
voltage from 0 to +18 volts. The HMC587LC4B VCO operates from a single +5V supply, consumes only 55 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.
