The HMC509LP5/509LP5E MMIC VCO is a wideband voltage-controlled oscillator with a frequency range of 7.8-8.8 GHz. It is fabricated using GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) and has excellent temperature, shock, and process performance. The VCO output power is +13 dBm and it is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package, which does not require any external matching components.
The HMC509LP5 and HMC509LP5E are GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC voltage‑controlled oscillators offering dual output frequencies of 7.8‑8.8 GHz and a half‑frequency output of 3.9‑4.4 GHz. They deliver up to +13 dBm output power from a +5 V supply and feature low phase‑noise performance without the need for external resonators.
