Overview
The HMC6380LC4B is a wideband MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device is designed to operate within the frequency range of 8.0 to 16.0 GHz, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications. The HMC6380LC4B integrates the resonator, negative resistance device, and varactor diode into a single monolithic construction, ensuring excellent output power and phase noise performance over a wide temperature range. It operates from a single +5V supply, consuming only 75 mA of current, and is housed in a RoHS-compliant ceramic leadless SMT package.
