Overview
The HMC767LP6CETR from Analog Devices Inc. is a fully functional Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) Frequency Synthesizer with an integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This component is designed for high-performance applications requiring precise frequency control and low phase noise. The HMC767LP6CETR features an advanced delta-sigma modulator, allowing for ultra-fine step sizes and very low spurious products. It is packaged in a leadless QFN 6 x 6 mm surface mount package, making it suitable for compact and high-density designs.
