Product details
Overview
HMC513LP5 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 10.43–11.46 GHz at +7 dBm RFOUT power, -110 dBc/Hz phase noise @100 kHz offset, and 32-pin 5×5 mm QFN package. It serves as a low-noise local oscillator in microwave radio transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the HMC513LP5 datasheet, HMC513LP5 pinout, HMC513LP5 application, or HMC513LP5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-band output capability (Fo and Fo/2), tuning voltage range (2–13 V), supply current (275 mA typ.), phase noise stability over temperature (-40 to +85 °C), and prescaler disable functionality for power optimization.
Technical Context
The HMC513LP5 integrates monolithic resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes to deliver stable oscillation without external matching components. Its GaAs InGaP HBT process ensures robust phase noise performance across temperature, shock, and process variation.
It provides three simultaneous RF outputs: fundamental (Fo), half-frequency (Fo/2), and divide-by-4 (Fo/4), each AC-coupled and internally buffered. The prescaler (VCC1-powered) can be disabled by leaving Pin 6 open, reducing total supply current by ~40 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fo Range | 10.43–11.46 GHz - defines usable LO band for X-band point-to-point radios |
| Fo/2 Range | 5.215–5.73 GHz - enables direct interface to 5–6 GHz IF stages without external dividers |
| RFOUT Power | +7 dBm typical - sufficient to drive mixer LO ports without amplification |
| Phase Noise | -110 dBc/Hz @100 kHz offset - meets stringent spectral purity requirements for VSAT and military comms |
| Tuning Voltage | 2–13 V - supports wide-range analog PLL control with standard DACs or op-amp integrators |

FAQ
What is the operating frequency range of the HMC513LP5?
The HMC513LP5 operates from 10.43 to 11.46 GHz at its fundamental output (RFOUT). Its half-frequency output (RFOUT/2) spans 5.215 to 5.73 GHz, and its divide-by-4 output (RFOUT/4) covers 2.607 to 2.865 GHz. All ranges are specified at TA = +25 °C and VCC = +3 V, with minimal drift over -40 to +85 °C.
Can the prescaler function of the HMC513LP5 be disabled to reduce power consumption?
Yes, the prescaler in the HMC513LP5 is powered via Pin 6 (VCC1). Leaving this pin open disables the prescaler circuit, reducing total supply current by approximately 40 mA. The fundamental (RFOUT) and half-frequency (RFOUT/2) outputs remain fully functional after disabling VCC1.
What is the phase noise performance of the HMC513LP5, and under what conditions is it measured?
The HMC513LP5 delivers -110 dBc/Hz typical SSB phase noise at a 100 kHz offset from the carrier, measured at RFOUT with VTUNE = +5 V, VCC1/VCC2 = +3 V, and TA = +25 °C. This performance is maintained across temperature (-40 to +85 °C) due to its monolithic GaAs InGaP HBT structure.
Is an external resonator or matching network required for the HMC513LP5 to operate?
No. The HMC513LP5 integrates monolithic resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes, enabling full oscillator operation without external LC tanks, crystals, or matching components. Only DC blocking capacitors and supply decoupling (100 pF + 2.2 µF) are required per the evaluation board schematic.
What package type and grounding requirements apply to the HMC513LP5?
The HMC513LP5 uses a 32-lead 5×5 mm QFN package with an exposed metal ground paddle. Pins 5, 11, and the paddle must be soldered to a solid RF/DC ground plane using multiple thermal vias. Hittite's recommended land pattern and grounding guidelines must be followed to ensure optimal RF return loss and thermal performance.
