HMC830LP6GE
v03.0512
FRACTIONAL-N PLL WITH INTEGRATED VCO
25 - 3000 MHz
General Description
The HMC830LP6GE is a low noise, wide band, Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) that features an integrated
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with a fundamental frequency of 1500 MHz - 3000 MHz, and an integrated VCO
Output Divider (divide by 1/2/4/6.../60/62), that together allow the HMC830LP6GE to generate frequencies from
25 MHz to 3000 MHz. The integrated Phase Detector (PD) and delta-sigma modulator, capable of operating at up to
100 MHz, permit wider loop-bandwidths with excellent spectral performance.
The HMC830LP6GE features industry leading phase noise and spurious performance, across all frequencies, that
enable it to minimize blocker effects, and improve receiver sensitivity and transmitter spectral purity. The superior
noise oor (< -170 dBc/Hz) makes the HMC830LP6GE an ideal source for a variety of applications - such as; LO for
RF mixers, a clock source for high-frequency data-converters, or a tunable reference source for ultra-low spurious
applications.
Additional features of the HMC830LP6GE include RF output power control from 0 to 9 dB (3 dB steps), output Mute
function, and a delta-sigma modulator Exact Frequency Mode which enables users to generate output frequencies
with 0 Hz frequency error.
For theory of operation and register map refer to the “PLLs with Integrated VCOs - RF VCOs Operating Guide”. To

[3] Slew rate of greater or equal to 0.5 ns/V is recommended, see PLL with Integrated RF VCOs Operating Guide for more details. Frequency is
guaranteed across process voltage and temperature from -40 °C to 85 °C.
[4] This maximum phase detector frequency can only be achieved if the minimum N value is respected. eg. In the case of fractional feedback
mode, the maximum PFD rate = fvco/20 or 100 MHz, whichever is less.

[9] Capability of HMC830LP6GE to generate low frequencies (as low as 25 MHz), enables the HMC830LP6GE to be used as a tunable reference
source into another HMC830LP6GE, which maximizes spur performance of the second HMC830LP6GE. Please see “HMC830LP6GE
Application Information” for more information.
[10] The graph is generated by observing, and plotting, the magnitude of only the worst spur (largest magnitude), at any offset, at each output
frequency, while using a xed 50 MHz reference and a tunable reference tuned to 47.5 MHz. See “HMC830LP6GE Application Information” for
more details.
[11] Phase noise performance of the HMC830LP6GE when used as a tunable reference source. HMC830LP6GE is operating at 3 GHz/30, 3
GHz/54, and 1.55 GHz/62 for the 100 MHz, 55.55 MHz, and 25 MHz curves respectively. 25 MHz output is 50 MHz low pass ltered prior to input
to second PLL. 100 MHz and 55.55 MHz curves were not ltered.

Evaluation PCB Schematic
The circuit board used in the application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have
50 Ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and
bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.

v03.0512
FRACTIONAL-N PLL WITH INTEGRATED VCO
25 - 3000 MHz
HMC830LP6GE Application Information
Large bandwidth (25 MHz to 3000 MHz), industry leading phase noise and spurious performance, excellent noise oor
(<-170 dBc/Hz), coupled with a high level of integration make the HMC830LP6GE ideal for a variety of applications; as
an RF or IF stage LO, a clock source for high-frequency data-converters, or a tunable reference source for extremely
low spurious applications (< -100 dBc/Hz spurs).
Figure 23. HMC830LP6GE in a typical transmit chain
Figure 24. HMC830LP6GE in a typical receive chain
Figure 25. HMC830LP6GE used as a tunable reference for second HMC830LP6GE
Using the HMC830LP6GE with a tunable reference as shown in Figure 25, it is possible to drastically improve spurious
emissions performance across all frequencies. Example shown in Figure 21 graph shows that it is possible to have
spurious emissions < -100 dBc/Hz across all frequencies. For more information about spurious emissions, how they
are related to the reference frequency, and how to tune the reference frequency for optimal spurious performance
please see the “Spurious Performance” section of Hittite PLL w/ Integraged VCOs Operating Guide. Note that at very
low output frequencies < 100 MHz, harmonics increase due to small internal AC coupling. Applications which are
sensitive to harmonics may require external low pass ltering.
