HMC830 Fractional-N PLL with Integrated VCO SMT, 25 - 3000 MHz

Cellular/4G Infrastructure Repeaters and Femtocells Communications Test Equipment CATV Equipment Phased Array Applications Very High Data Rate Radios Tunable Reference Source for Spurious- Free Performance

The HMC830LP6GE is a low noise, wideband, Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) that features an integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with a fundamental frequency of 1500 MHz - 3000 MHz, and an integrated VCO Output Divider (divide by 1/2/4/6.../60/62), that together allow the HMC830LP6GE to generate frequencies from 25 MHz to 3000 MHz. The integrated Phase Detector (PD) and delta-sigma modulator, capable of operating at up to 100 MHz, permit wider loop-bandwidths with excellent spectral performance.

The HMC830LP6GE features industry leading phase noise and spurious performance, across all frequencies, that enable it to minimize blocker effects, and improve receiver sensitivity and transmitter spectral purity. Its superior performance makes it the ideal device for multi channel multi standard wide band transceivers. HMC830LP6GE can be used as an LO for RF mixers, a clock source for high-frequency data-converters, or a tunable reference source for ultra-low spurious applications.

Additional features of the HMC830LP6GE include RF output power control from 0 to 9 dB (3 dB steps), output Mute function, and a delta-sigma modulator Exact Frequency Mode which enables users to generate output frequencies with 0 Hz frequency error.
