Functional Diagram  
General Description  
The HMC532LP4 & HMC532LP4E are GaAs InGaP  
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC VCOs  
with integrated resonators, negative resistance  
devices, varactor diodes, and buffer amplifiers.

9 GHz, the VCO’s phase noise  
performance is excellent over temperature, shock  
and vibration due to the oscillator’s monolithic struc-  
ture. Power
 
output is +14 dBm typical from
 
a single  
supply of +3V @ 85 mA. The voltage controlled  
oscillator is packaged in a leadless QFN 4 x 4 mm  
surface mount package.

Evaluation PCB  
List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 105706

[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 exposed paddle should be con-  
nected 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.
