Product details
Overview
HMC583LP5 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 at 11.5–12.8 GHz RFOUT, +11 dBm typical output 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 in microwave transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the HMC583LP5 datasheet, HMC583LP5 pinout, HMC583LP5 application, or HMC583LP5 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional partitioning of its dual-output VCO architecture, thermal and tuning-voltage dependencies, and validated alternatives for SATCOM and point-to-point radio designs.
Technical Context
The HMC583LP5 integrates monolithic resonators, varactor diodes, and negative-resistance devices on a single GaAs die, enabling stable oscillation without external tuning components. Its Fo/2 and Fo/4 outputs derive directly from internal prescaler logic and frequency division stages, each with dedicated supply pins (Vcc(Amp), Vcc(Dig), Vcc(RF)) to enable independent power gating.
Phase noise performance is maintained across −40°C to +85°C due to monolithic thermal coupling, while pulling (3 MHz pp into 2.0:1 VSWR) and pushing (20 MHz/V) reflect robust supply and load insensitivity. Tuning voltage range spans 2–12 V, supporting wideband FM modulation via VTUNE with bandwidth dependent on source impedance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VCO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC582LP5 | Same package and pinout; narrower Fo range (10.7–12.0 GHz); −108 dBc/Hz phase noise @ 100 kHz | Lower-frequency SATCOM bands (e.g., X-band uplink); reduced tuning bandwidth | Select when operating below 11.5 GHz is sufficient and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| ADF4371BCPZ | Integrated PLL+VCO in 32-lead LFCSP; Fo = 1–8 GHz; requires external loop filter; −111 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz | Systems needing programmable integer/fractional-N synthesis rather than analog tuning | Choose when digital frequency control, multi-band support, or spurious-free hopping is required over analog FM agility. |
Compared with HMC583LP5, HMC582LP5 offers lower-frequency coverage with slightly degraded phase noise, while ADF4371BCPZ replaces analog tuning with digital PLL control-enabling frequency agility at the cost of added design complexity and external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the HMC583LP5?
The HMC583LP5 operates over −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its monolithic GaAs construction ensures stable phase noise (−110 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz) and frequency drift (<1.0 MHz/°C) across this full industrial range without recalibration. The device's thermal resistance is 23°C/W junction-to-paddle, requiring proper PCB ground paddle soldering for thermal management.
Can the HMC583LP5 generate FM modulation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the HMC583LP5 supports analog FM modulation via its VTUNE pin (Pin 29), which accepts 2–12 V control voltage. Modulation bandwidth depends on the source impedance driving VTUNE, as detailed in Hittite Application Note "Determining the FM Bandwidth of a Wideband Varactor Tuned VCO." For wideband FM, low-impedance drive (<50 Ω) is recommended to preserve modulation fidelity up to several MHz.
How do I disable unused outputs on the HMC583LP5 to reduce power consumption?
To disable the Fo/4 output and save ~65 mA, leave Pin 6 (Vcc(Dig)) unconnected. To disable the Fo/2 output and save ~30 mA, leave Pin 7 (Vcc(Amp)) unconnected. Pin 21 (Vcc(RF)) must remain powered for any output to function. Total supply current drops from 350 mA typical to ~255 mA when both auxiliary outputs are disabled.
Is the HMC583LP5 pin-compatible with the HMC583LP5E variant?
Yes, the HMC583LP5 and HMC583LP5E share identical pinout, footprint, and electrical specifications. The only differences are RoHS compliance (matte Sn finish vs. Sn/Pb), MSL3 reflow profile (260°C peak vs. 235°C), and marking (H583 + 4-digit lot). Both variants mount identically and perform equivalently in circuit.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the HMC583LP5 ground paddle?
The exposed ground paddle (Pins 5, 11, and bottom paddle) must be soldered to a solid, low-impedance RF ground plane using multiple thermal vias. Hittite recommends following their suggested land pattern, ensuring ≥8 vias (0.3 mm diameter) connecting the paddle to inner/outer ground layers. This minimizes ground inductance, suppresses cavity resonance, and maintains specified output return loss (>2 dB) and phase noise performance.
