HMC836LP6CE

The HMC836LP6CE is a fully functioned Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) Frequency Synthesizer with an Integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The synthesizer consists of an integrated low noise VCO with x2 output, an autocalibration subsystem for low voltage VCO tuning, a very low noise digital Phase Detector (PD), a precision controlled charge pump, a low noise reference path divider and a fractional divider.

The features of HMC836LP6CE are as follows: (1)RF Bandwidth: 3365 to 3705 MHz; (2)Fractional or Integer Modes; (3)19-Bit Prescaler; (4)Ultra Low Phase Noise -98 dBc/Hz in Band Typ; (5)Figure of Merit (FOM) -227 dBc Integer; (6)24-bit Step Size, Resolution 3 Hz typ; (7)200 MHz, 14-bit Reference Path Input; (8)Cycle Slip Prevention; (9)Read / Write Serial Port, Chip ID; (10)40 Lead 6x6mm SMT Package: 36mm2.

The electrical characteristics of the HMC836LP6CE are: (1)VCO Frequency at PLL Input: 1682.5 to 1852.5 MHz; (2)RF Output Frequency at fVCO x2: 3365 to 3705 MHz; (3)RF Output Power at fVCO x2: -1 to 9 dBm; (4)VCO Tuning Sensitivity Measured at 2 GHz, 2V: 15 MHz/V; (5)VCO Supply Pushing Measured at 2 GHz, 2V -2: 1.5 MHz/V; (6)RF Output 2nd Harmonic: -25 dBc; (7)RF Output 3rd Harmonic: -23 dBc; (8)RF Output 4th Harmonic: -31 dBc.
