HMC830LP6GE

v03.0512

Fractional-n Pll with integrated Vco

25 - 3000 Mhz

general description

the hMC830LP6ge is a low noise, wide band, 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. the superior

noise floor (< -170 dBc/hz) makes the hMC830LP6ge an ideal source for a variety of applications - such as; 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.
