Product details
Overview
The 105811-HMC440QS16G from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is an integer-N frequency synthesizer IC integrating a 10–1300 MHz phase-frequency detector and a 5-bit programmable counter (N = 2–32) operating up to 2.8 GHz. It delivers ultra-low SSB phase noise of –153 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (100 MHz reference), supports differential reference and VCO inputs, and targets low-noise PLL loop designs in microwave communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the 105811-HMC440QS16G datasheet, 105811-HMC440QS16G pinout, 105811-HMC440QS16G application, or 105811-HMC440QS16G equivalent, this device is selected for fast-settling, wide-loop-bandwidth synthesizers requiring precise N-divider control, open-collector error voltage outputs, and operation across –40°C to +85°C with 5 V ±0.2 V supply.
Technical Context
The 105811-HMC440QS16G implements an asynchronous or synchronous 5-bit down-counter architecture with CMOS-compatible A0–A4 programming inputs. Its PFD generates differential up/down error voltages (U/NU, D/ND) referenced to Vcc, enabling direct interfacing with op-amp-based loop filters.
It accepts AC-coupled differential reference (REF/NREF) and VCO (VCO/NVCO) signals, features open-collector output buffers, and operates with a 5 V supply drawing 250 mA typical. The device supports both single-ended and differential input configurations and includes internal logic-level compatibility for TTL/CMOS control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range (PFD) | 10–1300 MHz: Enables use with crystal oscillators, TCXOs, or buffered reference sources across UHF/microwave bands. |
| Counter Max Frequency | 2.8 GHz: Supports direct division of high-frequency VCO signals without prescaling in many PLL topologies. |
| Programmable Division Ratio | N = 2–32: Provides discrete, stable integer steps for synthesizer channel spacing and loop gain tuning. |
| SSB Phase Noise Floor | –153 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset (100 MHz ref): Enables low-jitter clock generation and narrowband RF synthesis. |
| Supply Current | 250 mA @ +5 V: Defines thermal design margin and power rail sizing for QSOP16G layout. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C: Validates suitability for outdoor radio, military comms, and industrial base station environments. |
| Output Voltage (Pk–Pk) | 2000 mV into 200 Ω pull-up: Sets loop filter resistor range and op-amp input swing requirements. |
Pinout & Package
105811-HMC440QS16G uses a 16-lead QSOP plastic package (29.4 mm² footprint) with exposed ground paddle requiring soldering to PCB RF ground per manufacturer guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | FOUT / NFOUT | DC-coupled test ports only; not intended for functional output-must be DC-blocked externally. |

| 5, 6 | NU / U | Differential up-error voltage outputs; complementary to ND/D, enable balanced charge pump behavior. |
| 7, 8 | REF / NREF | AC-coupled differential reference inputs; require external DC blocking and 50 Ω termination. |
| 9 | Vcc | +5 V ±0.2 V supply input; bypassing with 100 pF (0402) and 1000 pF (0603) capacitors required per eval board. |
| 10–14 | A0–A4 | CMOS-compatible 5-bit LSB-to-MSB divider control inputs; VIH ≥1.8 V, VIL ≤1.1 V; synchronous/asynchronous load. |
| 15, 16 | VCO / NVCO | AC-coupled differential VCO feedback inputs; require external DC blocking and 50 Ω matching. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integer-N synthesizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC4044LP4E | Wider PFD range (10–2500 MHz); higher max counter freq (4 GHz); RoHS-compliant 24-lead QFN. | Supports higher VCO frequencies and tighter loop bandwidths; requires different PCB layout and thermal management. | Choose when extending beyond 2.8 GHz VCO operation or needing enhanced thermal performance via QFN paddle. |

FAQ
What is the maximum VCO input frequency supported by the 105811-HMC440QS16G?
The 105811-HMC440QS16G supports a maximum VCO input frequency of 2800 MHz under sine or square wave conditions. This specification is validated per the Electrical Specifications table in the official datasheet, and the device's 5-bit counter operates continuously across the full 2–32 division range at this frequency, enabling direct high-speed feedback without prescaling in many microwave PLL designs.
Does the 105811-HMC440QS16G include an integrated charge pump?
No, the 105811-HMC440QS16G does not include an integrated charge pump. It provides differential open-collector up/down error voltage outputs (U/NU and D/ND) designed to interface with external op-amp–based loop filters. This architecture gives designers full control over loop dynamics and noise shaping but requires external active filtering components.
What are the logic voltage thresholds for the A0–A4 control inputs on the 105811-HMC440QS16G?
The 105811-HMC440QS16G specifies VIH (minimum logic high) ≥ 1.8 V at 50 μA and VIL (maximum logic low) ≤ 1.1 V at 1 μA for its A0–A4 CMOS-compatible inputs. These thresholds ensure reliable interfacing with standard 3.3 V or 5 V digital controllers without level shifters, provided drive strength and timing meet synchronous/asynchronous load requirements.
Can the 105811-HMC440QS16G operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No-the 105811-HMC440QS16G is specified for Vcc = +5 V ± 0.2 V only. Absolute maximum supply voltage is +5.5 V, and operation below 4.8 V is not characterized. Attempting 3.3 V operation will result in undefined logic states, degraded PFD performance, and potential failure to latch A0–A4 programming bits reliably.
Is the 105811-HMC440QS16G pin-compatible with the HMC440QS16GE variant?
Yes-the 105811-HMC440QS16G and HMC440QS16GE share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functional behavior. The sole difference is RoHS compliance: the 'G' version uses Sn/Pb lead finish (MSL1, 235 °C reflow), while the 'GE' version uses 100% matte Sn (MSL1, 260 °C reflow). Both are drop-in replacements in compatible assembly processes.
