Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC369LP3 & HMC369LP3E are active miniature
x2 frequency multipliers utilizing InGaP GaAs HBT
technology in 3x3 mm leadless QFN surface mount
packages. Power output is +4 dBm typical from a
single +5.0V supply and varies little vs. input power,
temperature and supply voltage. Suppression of
undesired fundamental and sub-harmonics is 30
dBc typical with respect to output signal level. The
low additive SSB phase noise of -142 dBc/Hz at 100
kHz offset helps the user maintain good system noise
performance. The HMC369LP3 & HMC369LP3E
are ideal for use in LO multiplier chains allowing
reduced parts count versus traditional approaches.
The HMC369LP3 & HMC369LP3E are also useful for
OC-192 clock recovery. The application of 10 GBPS
data to the input generates a -7 dBm clock tone at the
output with spurious signals suppressed by 25 dB.
