Product details
Overview
HMC510LP5 from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC voltage-controlled oscillator with integrated half-frequency and divide-by-4 outputs, operating from 8.45–9.55 GHz at +13 dBm RF output power with −116 dBc/Hz phase noise at 100 kHz offset, used in microwave radio transceivers requiring stable local oscillator synthesis.
For engineers reviewing the HMC510LP5 datasheet, HMC510LP5 pinout, HMC510LP5 application, or HMC510LP5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-output frequency range (Fo and Fo/2), low phase noise performance across temperature, tunable voltage range (2–13 V), 32-pin 5×5 mm QFN package, and current-saving disable capability for prescaler and RFOUT/2 functions.
Technical Context
The HMC510LP5 integrates monolithic resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes to deliver stable oscillation without external tuning components. Its architecture supports simultaneous RFOUT (Fo), RFOUT/2 (Fo/2), and RFOUT/4 (Fo/4) outputs, each AC-coupled and independently powered via dedicated supply pins (Vcc(RF), Vcc(Amp), Vcc(Dig)).
Phase noise stability over temperature (−40°C to +85°C), shock, and process variation is achieved through full monolithic integration. Tuning sensitivity ranges from ~400–700 MHz/V depending on Vtune, with pushing of 20 MHz/V and pulling of 6 MHz peak-to-peak into 2.0:1 VSWR.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VCO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC511LP5E | Same 32-pin QFN package; Fo = 9.2–10.4 GHz, Fo/2 = 4.6–5.2 GHz; −115 dBc/Hz phase noise @ 100 kHz | Higher frequency coverage; less suitable for 8.45–9.55 GHz fixed-band systems | Select when targeting upper X-band or Ku-band edge applications requiring extended high-end range |
| ADF4371BCPZ | Integrated PLL+VCO in 32-pin LFCSP; Fo = 6.39–12.78 GHz; −111 dBc/Hz phase noise @ 100 kHz; SPI programmable | Requires external loop filter and reference clock; adds digital control complexity but enables frequency hopping | Choose for systems needing programmable frequency agility and integrated fractional-N synthesis, not pure analog VCO simplicity |
Compared with HMC510LP5, HMC511LP5E offers higher-frequency coverage but narrower overlap in the 9.2–9.55 GHz band, while ADF4371BCPZ trades analog tuning simplicity for digital programmability and wider bandwidth at higher phase noise and greater system-level design overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency range of the HMC510LP5?
The HMC510LP5 operates from 8.45 to 9.55 GHz at its fundamental RF output (RFOUT). Its integrated divider provides a half-frequency output (RFOUT/2) spanning 4.225 to 4.775 GHz and a divide-by-4 output (RFOUT/4) from 2.1125 to 2.3875 GHz. All outputs are functional simultaneously when respective supply pins are powered.
Does the HMC510LP5 require external tuning components?
No, the HMC510LP5 does not require external resonators, varactors, or matching networks. It integrates monolithic resonators and tuning elements, enabling direct connection of VTUNE and DC supplies. Only AC coupling capacitors are needed at RFOUT, RFOUT/2, and RFOUT/4 outputs per the recommended application circuit.
How can current consumption be reduced on the HMC510LP5?
Current consumption on the HMC510LP5 can be reduced by leaving Vcc(Dig) (Pin 6) open to disable the prescaler (saving ~65 mA) or leaving Vcc(Amp) (Pin 7) open to disable the RFOUT/2 buffer amplifier (saving ~30 mA). Vcc(RF) (Pin 21) must remain connected for basic oscillator operation.
What is the recommended grounding method for the HMC510LP5 package?
The HMC510LP5 requires all ground pins (Pins 5, 11) and the exposed metal paddle to be soldered directly to a solid RF/DC ground plane using multiple thermal vias. Per Hittite Application Note, this ensures optimal thermal dissipation (23 °C/W), RF return path integrity, and phase noise performance.
Is the HMC510LP5 RoHS-compliant?
The HMC510LP5 uses Sn/Pb lead finish and is not RoHS-compliant. For RoHS compliance, use the HMC510LP5E variant, which features 100% matte tin plating and a peak reflow temperature of 260 °C, maintaining identical electrical specifications and pinout.
