Overview
The HMC769LP6CE is a fully functional Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) Frequency Synthesizer with an integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This device operates within the frequency range of 9.05 to 10.15 GHz and is designed for high-performance RF and microwave applications. It features an advanced delta-sigma modulator, allowing for ultra-fine step sizes and very low spurious products. The HMC769LP6CE is packaged in a leadless QFN 6 x 6 mm surface mount package and is RoHS-compliant.
