HMC390LP4 390LP4E / v02.0505 MMIC VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER, 3.55 - 3.9 GHz Typical Applications Features Low noise MMIC VCO w/Buffer Amplifi er for: Pout: +4.7 dBm • Wireless Local Loop (WLL) Phase Noise: -112 dBc/Hz @100 KHz • VSAT & Microwave Radio No External Resonator Needed • Test Equipment & Industrial Controls Single Supply: 3V @ 42 mA • Military QFN Leadless SMT Package, 16 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description 11 The HMC390LP4 & HMC390LP4E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs with integrated resonators, negative resistance devices, varactor diodes, and buffer amplifi ers. T Covering 3.55 to 3.9 GHz, the VCO’s phase noise M performance is excellent over temperature, shock, S vibration and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic - structure. Power output is 4.7 dBm typical from a s single supply of 3V @ 42 mA. The voltage controlled O oscillator is packaged in a low cost leadless QFN 4 x 4 L P mm surface mount package. & S O C V Electrical Specifi cations, T = +25° C, Vcc = +3V A Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
