Product details
Overview
110227-HMC514LP5 from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC voltage-controlled oscillator with integrated divide-by-4 and half-frequency outputs, operating from 11.17–12.02 GHz at +7 dBm RFOUT power, −110 dBc/Hz phase noise @100 kHz offset, and packaged in a 32-lead 5×5 mm QFN. It serves as a compact, self-contained RF source for microwave transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the 110227-HMC514LP5 datasheet, 110227-HMC514LP5 pinout, 110227-HMC514LP5 application, or 110227-HMC514LP5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-band output capability (Fo and Fo/2), low-phase-noise performance across −40°C to +85°C, prescaler disable option for current savings, and absence of external resonator requirements.
Technical Context
This VCO employs monolithic GaAs InGaP HBT technology to integrate resonators, negative resistance devices, and varactor diodes-enabling stable oscillation without external tuning components. Its architecture delivers three simultaneous RF outputs: fundamental (Fo), half-frequency (Fo/2), and divide-by-4 (Fo/4), each AC-coupled and specified over full temperature range.
The device features two independent supply rails (VCC1 for prescaler, VCC2 for core oscillator), tunable via 2–13 V VTUNE with 18 MHz/V pushing and 4 MHzpp pulling into 2.0:1 VSWR. Phase noise remains stable across temperature due to monolithic thermal coupling, and the exposed ground paddle ensures optimal RF grounding.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fo Range | 11.17–12.02 GHz - covers full Ku-band uplink segment for VSAT and point-to-point radios. |
| Fo/2 Output | 5.585–6.01 GHz - provides usable L-band output without external dividers or filters. |
| RFOUT Power | +7 dBm typical - sufficient to drive mixer LO ports directly without amplification. |
| Phase Noise | −110 dBc/Hz @100 kHz offset - meets stringent spectral purity requirements for high-order QAM systems. |
| Supply Voltage | +3 V - compatible with standard RF system power rails; VCC1 can be left open to disable prescaler. |
| Tuning Range | 2–13 V - supports wide-loop PLL designs with standard op-amp-based charge pumps. |
| Package | 32-lead 5×5 mm QFN - surface-mountable with exposed ground paddle requiring PCB via stitching for RF return path. |
Pinout & Package
The 110227-HMC514LP5 is housed in a leadless 5×5 mm QFN package with an exposed ground paddle and 32 perimeter terminals. All ground pins (5, 11, and paddle) must be soldered to RF/DC ground per Hittite land pattern guidelines. The package is MSL3 rated with Sn/Pb finish and max reflow at 235 °C.

| 19 | RF OUT | AC-coupled fundamental output (11.17–12.02 GHz); primary LO source for mixers. |
| 21 | VCC2 | +3 V supply for oscillator core; must be powered for all outputs to function. |
| 29 | VTUNE | Control voltage input (2–13 V); bandwidth limited by source impedance; drives internal varactor. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 110227-HMC514LP5?
The 110227-HMC514LP5 operates over −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its monolithic GaAs InGaP HBT structure ensures stable phase noise and frequency drift (1.2 MHz/°C) across this full industrial range, with no derating required up to +85°C.
Can the prescaler function of the 110227-HMC514LP5 be disabled, and how?
Yes-the prescaler function of the 110227-HMC514LP5 is powered by VCC1 (Pin 6). Leaving Pin 6 unconnected disables the prescaler and reduces total supply current by ~40 mA, which is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table under "Supply Current" and functional description.
Does the 110227-HMC514LP5 require external matching components?
No-the 110227-HMC514LP5 requires no external matching components. Its monolithic design integrates resonators, varactors, and negative resistance devices, and all RF outputs (RFOUT, RFOUT/2, RFOUT/4) are AC-coupled and internally matched to 50 Ω.
What is the recommended PCB grounding method for the 110227-HMC514LP5?
The 110227-HMC514LP5 requires all ground pins (Pins 5, 11) and the exposed bottom paddle to be soldered to the PCB RF/DC ground plane. Multiple thermal vias must connect the paddle to inner ground layers, per Hittite Application Note land pattern guidance, to maintain low-inductance RF return paths.
Is there an evaluation board available for the 110227-HMC514LP5?
Yes-an evaluation PCB (part number 110225) is available for the 110227-HMC514LP5. It includes SMA RF connectors (J1–J4), DC headers (J5–J6), and optimized decoupling (C1–C5), built on Rogers 4350 substrate to preserve RF integrity and validate 110227-HMC514LP5 performance in-system.
