HMC733LC4B v04.0514 WIDEBAND MMIC VCO w/ BUFFER AMPLIFIER, 10 - 20 GHz Typical Applications Features Low Noise wideband MMIC VCO is ideal for: Wide Tuning Bandwidth T • Industrial/Medical Equipment Pout: +3 dBm M • Test & Measurement Equipment Low SSB Phase Noise: -90 dBc/Hz @100 kHz S • Military Radar, EW & ECM No External Resonator Needed - S Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 70 mA O RoHS Compliant 4 x 4 mm SMT Package C V Functional Diagram General Description D N The HMC733LC4B is a wideband MMIC Voltage A Controlled Oscillator which incorporates the reson- B ator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode. E Output power and phase noise performance are D excellent over temperature due to the oscillator’s I monolithic construction. The Vtune port accepts W an analog tuning voltage from 0 to +22V. The HMC733LC4B VCO operates from a single +5V supply, consumes only 70 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.
