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 +5V 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(E) is ideal for
use in LO multiplier chains allowing reduced parts
count versus traditional approaches. The HMC-
369LP3(E) are also useful for OC-192 clock recovery.
The application of 10 GBPS data to the input gen-
erates a -7 dBm clock tone at the output with spurious
signals suppressed by 25 dB.
