HMC831 Fractional-N PLL with Integrated VCO SMT, 1815 - 2010 MHz

Cellular/4G Infrastructure Repeaters and Femtocells Communications Test Equipment CATV Equipment Phased Array Applications DDS Replacement  Very High Data Rate Radios

The HMC831LP6CE is a fully functioned Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) Frequency Synthesizer with an Integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The synthesizer consists of an integrated low noise VCO, an autocalibration subsystem for low voltage VCO tuning, a very low noise digital Phase Detector (PD), a precision controlled charge pump, a low noise reference path divider and a fractional divider.

The fractional synthesizer features an advanced delta-sigma modulator design that allows both ultra-fine step sizes and low spurious products. The phase detector (PD) features cycle slip prevention (CSP) technology to allow faster frequency hopping times. Ultra low in-close phase noise and low spurious also allows wider loop bandwidths for faster frequency hopping and low micro-phonics.

For theory of operation and register map refer to the "PLLs with Integrated VCO - RF VCOs" Operating Guide.
