Overview
The HMC587LC4BTR is a wideband GaAs InGaP Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component is designed for high-performance applications requiring low phase noise, low power consumption, and a wide tuning range. The VCO incorporates a resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode, all within a monolithic construction. It operates from a single +5V supply, consumes 55 mA of current, and is housed in a RoHS compliant 4x4 mm SMT package.
