General Description
The HMC840LP6CE is a fully functioned Fractional-N Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) Frequency Synthesizer with an
Integrated Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The synthesizer consists of an integrated low noise VCO with a tri-
band output, an autocalibration subsystem for low voltage VCO tuning, a very low noise digital Phase Detector (PD),
a precision controlled charge pump, a low noise reference path divider and a fractional divider.
The fractional synthesizer features an advanced delta-sigma modulator design that allows both ultra-ne step sizes
and low spurious products. The phase detector (PD) features cycle slip prevention (CSP) technology to allow faster
frequency hopping times. Ultra low in-close phase noise and low spurious also allows wider loop bandwidths for faster
frequency hopping and low micro-phonics.
For theory of operation and register map refer to the “PLLs with Integrated VCOs - RF VCOs Operating Guide”. To
view the Operating Guide, please visit www.hittite.com and choose HMC840LP6CE from the “Search by Part
Number” pull down menu.

40 BIAS
External bypass decoupling for precision bias circuits.
Note: 1.920V ±20mV reference voltage (BIAS) is generated internally and cannot
drive an external load. Must be measured with 10GΩ meter such as Agilent 34410A,
normal 10MΩ DVM will read erroneously.
[1] For doubler mode of operation, pin 28 (RF_N) and pin 29 (RF_P) outputs must be shorted together.

FRACTIONAL-N PLL WITH INTEGRATED VCO
1310 - 1415, 2620 - 2830, 5240 - 5660 MHz
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.
