Hittite Adds Three New PLL with Integrated Microwave VCO Products
|
January 11, 2012 Press Release
-- Still the Industry’s Only Integrated Fractional-N PLL/VCOs to 13.4 GHz
 Chelmsford,
MA, January 11, 2012 - Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions
for communication & military markets, has introduced three new SMT packaged PLLs with Integrated Voltage
Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) which are ideal for demanding small form factor applications including
microwave/millimeterwave radios, test equipment, fiber optic communications, military subsystems and sensors to
13.4 GHz.
The
HMC767LP6CE,
HMC769LP6CE
and HMC778LP6CE
are full-featured fractional-N PLL frequency synthesizers with integrated microwave VCOs which provide output
frequency coverage from 8.45 to 10.8 GHz. These new products offer low open loop phase noise of -140 dBc/Hz at 1
MHz offset, a 350 MHz reference path input and a 14-bit reference divider. The advanced delta-sigma modulator
design in the fractional synthesizer enables ultra-fine fractional step sizes while achieving industry leading
phase noise and spurious emission performance. The highly integrated architecture delivers a rich feature-set
including; external triggering, double-buffering, exact frequency generation with 0 Hz frequency error, frequency
modulation, phase modulation and more. The
HMC767LP6CE,
HMC769LP6CE
and HMC778LP6CE
PLL/VCOs are housed in leadless QFN 6 x 6 mm surface mount packages and deliver up to +12 dBm output power, making
them ideal for directly driving the LO port of many of Hittite’s high linearity, double-balanced and I/Q
mixer/receiver products.
In order to minimize design time and resources, Hittite offers an advanced
Evaluation Kit to support each PLL/VCO product. Each kit includes an evaluation board with an on-board reference
oscillator and voltage regulators, and supports universal loop filter configurations. Included software allows the
user to program and observe full performance and functionality of the PLL/VCO. Hittite’s proprietary PLL Design
Software Suite enables users to simulate and predict the effect of any parameter on the performance of the
PLL/VCO.
Hittite’s line of PLL/VCO products uniquely combine the attributes of low phase noise, low spurious, advanced
features and compact size. Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock
and can be ordered via the company’s e-commerce site or via direct purchase order. Released data sheets are
available on-line at
www.hittite.com.
