Functional Diagram  

General Description  

The HMC6380LC4B iꢀ a wideband MMIC Voltage  

Controlled Oꢀcillator which incorporateꢀ the reꢀonator,  

negative reꢀiꢀtance device, and varactor diode. Output  

power and phaꢀe noiꢀe performance are excellent  

over temperature due to the oꢀcillator’ꢀ monolithic  

conꢀtruction. The Vtune port acceptꢀ an analog tuning  

voltage from 0 to +23V. The HMC6380LC4B VCO  

operateꢀ from a ꢀingle +5V ꢀupply, conꢀumeꢀ only  

75 mA of current, and iꢀ houꢀed in a RoHs compliant  

sMT package. Thiꢀ wideband VCO uniquely combineꢀ  

the attributeꢀ of ultra ꢀmall ꢀize, low phaꢀe noiꢀe, low  

power conꢀumption, and wide tuning range.
