Product details
Overview
HMC1034LP6GETR from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a wideband fractional-N PLL clock generator IC with integrated VCO, delivering differential clock outputs from 125 MHz to 3 GHz. It achieves 78 fs RMS phase jitter (typical, integer mode, 50 MHz ref), -165 dBc/Hz phase noise floor, and supports up to 100 MHz phase detector rate - enabling high-precision timing in 10G/40G/100G optical line cards and SERDES PHY interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the HMC1034LP6GETR datasheet, HMC1034LP6GETR pinout, HMC1034LP6GETR application, or HMC1034LP6GETR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-bit frequency resolution (3 Hz step), Exact Frequency Mode for near-zero output error, 40-lead 6×6 mm QFN package, and compliance with G.8251/GR-253-CORE jitter standards for telecom infrastructure.
Technical Context
The HMC1034LP6GETR implements a fractional-N PLL architecture with a Delta-Sigma modulator and integrated RF VCO, supporting both integer and fractional feedback modes. Its charge pump operates at up to 2.54 mA with 20 µA gain step size, and the phase detector accepts reference inputs up to 350 MHz with AC coupling.
Differential RF outputs (RF_P/RF_N) feature 2-bit amplitude control (four gain settings), mute capability, and rise/fall times of 150–250 ps depending on gain setting and frequency. The device uses SPI serial programming for register configuration and includes built-in digital self-test functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 125 MHz to 3000 MHz - covers OTU2/OTU3/OTU4, SONET STS-768, 10G/40G/100G Ethernet, and 32G Fibre Channel reference rates. |
| RMS Phase Jitter (Typ.) | 78 fs - measured at 800 MHz with 50 MHz reference, integer mode; enables sub-10⁻¹⁵ BER in high-speed serial links. |
| Phase Noise Floor | <-165 dBc/Hz - ensures minimal close-in and broadband noise contribution to ADC sampling clocks and SERDES CDR loops. |
| Max Phase Detector Rate | 100 MHz - allows wide loop bandwidths for fast lock time and effective jitter attenuation in translation applications. |
| Frequency Resolution | 3 Hz typical (24-bit step size) - supports exact synthesis of non-integer multiples like 622.08 MHz, 156.25 MHz, and 805.66 MHz without residual error. |
| Figure of Merit (FOM) | -227 dBc/Hz (fractional mode) - industry-leading efficiency metric indicating low power-to-noise ratio for battery-sensitive or thermally constrained designs. |
| Supply Voltages | +5 V (VPPCP/VCC1/VCC2); +3.3 V (AVDD/RVDD/DVDD3V/VCCHF/VCCPS/VCCPD) - dual-rail operation isolates analog, digital, and VCO sections for optimal noise rejection. |
Pinout & Package
40-lead, 6 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch QFN package (RoHS-compliant, MSL1, exposed ground paddle). All ground leads and paddle must be soldered to PCB RF ground per Hittite application note land pattern recommendations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11–14, 18–22, 24, 26, 34, 37, 38 | N/C | Internally unconnected; externally grounded for RF shielding and thermal conduction per layout guidelines. |
| 3, 25, 27, 35, 36, 39 | Analog Supply | Dedicated rails (VPPCP, VCC2, VCC1, VCCHF, VCCPS, VCCPD) isolate VCO core, prescaler, phase detector, and HF analog blocks. |
| 4 | Charge Pump Output | Drives external loop filter; requires precise decoupling to minimize reference spurs and phase noise degradation. |
| 10, 15 | Reference Input | RVDD powers reference buffer; XREFP accepts AC-coupled square/sine wave (1–3.3 Vpp, ≤350 MHz). |
| 16, 17 | Digital Supply & Enable | DVDD3V powers CMOS logic; CEN high enables full operation, low places device in low-power state (~5 mA or ~10 µA). |
| 23 | VCO Tuning Voltage | VTUNE connects to loop filter output; voltage range and stability directly determine VCO frequency accuracy and settling behavior. |
| 28, 29 | Differential RF Output | RF_N/RF_P deliver LVPECL-compatible swing (0.25–1.35 Vpp into 50 Ω) with programmable amplitude and mute control. |
| 30–33 | SPI Interface | SEN/SDI/SCK/LD_SDO support 3-wire serial programming and lock-detect reporting; LD_SDO doubles as GPO or SDO. |
| 40 | Bias Reference | BIAS provides internal 1.920 V ±20 mV reference; must be measured with ≥10 GΩ meter - not for external loading. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Exact Frequency Mode | Delta-Sigma modulator enables output frequencies with <1 Hz residual error - eliminates need for external VCXO trimming in precision timing systems. |
| 2-Bit Output Amplitude Control | Four programmable gain settings (00–11) adjust differential swing from 300 mVpp to 1.1 Vpp - simplifies interface matching to FPGA transceivers or SERDES inputs. |
| Built-in Digital Self Test | On-chip diagnostics verify PLL lock status, register integrity, and basic functional operation - reduces test time and validation overhead in production. |
| G.8251 / GR-253-CORE Compliance | Meets stringent ITU-T and Telcordia jitter specifications for synchronous optical networking - qualifies for carrier-grade 10G/40G/100G line card deployment. |
| Low-Power Power-Down Modes | Crystal-off state draws 10 µA; crystal-on (100 MHz) draws 5 mA - enables rapid wake-up while minimizing standby power in modular optical systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMK04832RHAR | Two-stage jitter cleaner (PLL1 + PLL2), supports dual-loop architecture; higher power (220 mA vs. 180 mA typ.), larger 7×7 mm package. | Optimized for ultra-low additive jitter (<50 fs) in RF sampling systems; lacks integrated VCO - requires external VCO or crystal. | Choose LMK04832RHAR when cascaded jitter cleaning is required and board space permits larger footprint. |
| Si5341-A01A-GM | Multi-output, 12-output clock generator with DCO-based architecture; 48 fs typical jitter, but no integrated VCO - relies on external crystal and PLL synthesis. | Designed for complex clock tree distribution (Ethernet, PCIe, SATA); supports multiple independent output frequencies simultaneously. | Choose Si5341-A01A-GM when generating >2 synchronized clocks with different frequencies and formats (LVDS, HCSL, LVPECL) from one device. |
Compared with LMK04832RHAR and Si5341-A01A-GM, the HMC1034LP6GETR offers single-chip integration of VCO and fractional-N PLL in a compact 6×6 mm QFN, making it optimal for space-constrained, single-output, ultra-low-jitter applications where external component count must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the HMC1034LP6GETR?
The HMC1034LP6GETR supports a differential RF output frequency range from 125 MHz to 3000 MHz. This covers critical telecom standards including OTU4 (1747.02 MHz), STS-768 (2488.32 MHz), and 32G Fibre Channel (425 MHz), with guaranteed performance across -40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
Does the HMC1034LP6GETR require an external VCO?
No, the HMC1034LP6GETR integrates a wideband RF VCO on-die. It does not require an external VCO or crystal oscillator for fundamental operation - only an external reference clock (up to 350 MHz) and loop filter components are needed to configure the fractional-N PLL.
How is jitter performance specified for the HMC1034LP6GETR?
Jitter is specified as RMS phase jitter: 78 fs typical (integer mode, 800 MHz output, 50 MHz reference, 12 kHz–20 MHz integration bandwidth) and 118 fs (fractional mode, 622.08 MHz, same bandwidth). Period jitter is <377 fs total (instrument-inclusive), with estimated device contribution <150 fs.
Can the HMC1034LP6GETR generate exact frequencies like 622.08 MHz without error?
Yes - the HMC1034LP6GETR's Exact Frequency Mode leverages its 24-bit fractional divider and Delta-Sigma modulator to synthesize frequencies such as 622.08 MHz, 156.25 MHz, and 805.66 MHz with near-zero residual error (typically <1 Hz), eliminating the need for external VCXO calibration.
What power supply configurations does the HMC1034LP6GETR require?
The HMC1034LP6GETR requires two separate supply domains: +5 V for VPPCP, VCC1, and VCC2 (VCO core/buffer/divider); and +3.3 V for AVDD, RVDD, DVDD3V, VCCHF, VCCPS, and VCCPD (analog/digital/phase detector sections). Each rail has defined min/max tolerances and current draw specifications per operating mode.
