Product details
Analog Devices HMC1168LP5ETR - MMIC VCO with half-frequency output
The HMC1168LP5ETR is Analog Devices' GaAs MMIC voltage-controlled oscillator for the 12.47–13.72 GHz band, with a second output at half frequency (6.235–6.86 GHz) for locking to a lower-band PLL or for direct division in the synthesizer chain. Because the resonator, negative-resistance device and varactor are all fabricated on the same die, output power and phase noise stay flat over temperature and no external resonator or matching network is needed - the 5 × 5 mm LFCSP drops straight onto the board. This is the tape-and-reel (TR) ordering code of the HMC1168LP5E.
Key Features
- Dual output: fOUT 12.47–13.72 GHz and fOUT/2 6.235–6.86 GHz
- Output power 10 dBm typical from a single 5 V supply
- SSB phase noise −113 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset (−85 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz)
- Monolithic construction - integrated resonator, negative-resistance device and varactor
- No external resonator and no external matching components required
- 5 V supply, 190 mA typical; tuning voltage 2–13 V
- RoHS-compliant 32-lead LFCSP, 5 × 5 mm (25 mm² footprint)
- −40 to +85 °C operating range; evaluation board EV1HMC1168LP5 available

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the half-frequency output for?
A: It gives 6.235–6.86 GHz from the same die. In a synthesizer you can feed that to a lower-frequency PLL or prescaler instead of dividing a 13 GHz signal externally, which keeps phase noise and layout simpler.
Q: Does it need an external resonator or matching network?
A: No. The resonator, negative-resistance device and varactor are integrated, and ADI specifies the part with no external matching components - only the supply decoupling and loop filter of your PLL remain.
Q: What is the difference between HMC1168LP5E and HMC1168LP5ETR?
A: Same device and same 32-lead LFCSP; LP5E is the cut-tape / small-quantity pack, LP5ETR is the 500-piece tape-and-reel pack for production.
Q: How much tuning range does the varactor give?
A: The specified band is 12.47–13.72 GHz with a 2–13 V tuning input; ADI publishes the full tuning and phase-noise-vs-tune curves in the HMC1168 data sheet (Rev. A).
