Phase Noise of MAOC-009262
Delivering high frequency VCOs…
with low phase noise for microwave applications
M/A-COM Technology Solutions’ high
frequency Voltage Controlled
Oscillators are InGaP HBT-based
MMIC’s targeted for frequency
generation applications. No external
matching components are required.
These VCO’s are easily integrated into
a phase lock loop using the divide-by-
two output. The extremely low phase
noise makes these parts ideal for
many radio applications including high
capacity digital radios.
These VCOs have low power
consumption for the function with a
+5V supply voltage and 175 mA
typical current. The tuning voltage
varies between 1 and 13V. The 5 mm
PQFN package has a lead-free finish
that is RoHS compliant and
compatible with a 260ºC reflow
temperature. The package also
features low lead inductance and an
excellent thermal path.

Delivering low cost surface mount VCOs…
from 45 MHz to 3.6 GHz
M/A-COM Technology Solutions’
Voltage Controlled Oscillator modules
incorporate a fundamental single
ended oscillator design optimized for
low phase noise and highly linear
tuning characteristics. Our designs
incorporate output isolation to provide
flat output power and reduce the
frequency pulling effects of the load
VSWR. The output circuit also
includes a low pass filter for harmonic
rejection. Power supply and tuning
voltage requirements are in the
3V to 5V range.
For applications up to 3.6 GHz, VCOs
are available in the LSM1 package
style, 0.5 inch square. These
packages provide electrical shielding
and are easy to assemble using
standard pick and place equipment.
