General Description  
The HMC358MS8G & HMC358MS8GE are GaAs  
InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC  
VCOs. The HMC358MS8G & HMC358MS8GE inte-  
grate resonators, negative resistance devices, varac-  
tor diodes, and buffer amplifiers. The VCO’s phase  
noise performance is excellent over temperature,  
shock, and process due to the oscillator’s monolithic  
structure. Power
 
output is
1
1
d
Bm typical from a 3V  
supply voltage. The voltage controlled oscillator is  
packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 lead MSOP  
package with an exposed base for improved RF and  
thermal performance.

List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 104713

[1]  

The circuit board used in the final application should  
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines  
should have 50 ohm impedance while the package  
ground leads and backside ground slug should be  
connected directly to the ground plane similar to that  
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be  
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.  
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from  
Hittite upon request.
