The HMC701LP6CE and the HMC702LP6CE are the latest additions to Hittite's PLL product line of integrated fractional-N synthesizer ICs designed to cover a wide range of applications from 10 kHz to 14 GHz, particularly those sensitive to phase noise and signal jitter. Each of these feature packed fractional-N synthesizers feature a 16-bit fractional divider, 24-bit delta-sigma modulator, 14-bit reference path divider, ultra low noise phase frequency detector (PFD), a precision controlled charge pump and extensive access to various modes of operation via a GPO (General Purpose Output) bus.

The HMC714LP5E is a new, industry leading, integrated Dual Channel RMS Power Detector, which is capable of simultaneously measuring the instantaneous power (RF envelope) and the average true RMS power of any input RF signal from 0.1 to 3.9 GHz. Designed for high accuracy RF power signal measurement and control applications and ideal for dual-channel wireless infrastructure systems, the HMC714LP5E can be used with input signals having RMS values from -55 to +15 dBm and large crest factors with no accuracy degradation. Dual outputs provide a read of 'true-RMS' power with excellent channel matching and low temperature drift. Operating from a +5V supply, the HMC714LP5E is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, and is supplied in a 5x5 mm leadless SMT package.

The HMC-C072 is an industry leading, connectorized Ultra Low Phase Noise Amplifier module designed to operate between 6 and 12 GHz, with 11 dB of gain, 4.5 dB noise figure and up to +22 dBm of output power from a single supply of +7V. The ultra low phase noise contribution of -167 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz offset enables superior modulation accuracy within transceiver architectures. The wideband distributed amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust performance.

Complete information will also be available on the following newly released products:

Low Noise Amplifiers
The HMC566LP4E is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for building transmit and receive signal chains in microwave radios. Housed in a SMT 4x4mm plastic package and operating from 28 to 36 GHz, the HMC566LP4E provides 21 dB of small signal gain, 2.8 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of +24 dBm. This self-biased LNA is ideal for SMT based assemblies due to its compact size, single +3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/Os. This versatile LNA can also be used to drive the LO port of many of Hittite's balanced, I/Q, and sub-harmonic mixers. The HMC566LP4E is also available in die form as the HMC566.

The HMC751LC4 is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier which operates from 17 to 27 GHz and provides 25 dB of small signal gain, 2.2 dB noise figure and output IP3 of +25 dBm. The HMC751LC4 requires only 73 mA from a +4V single supply. P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables the LNA to function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers.

The HMC752LC4 is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier which operates from 24 to 28 GHz and provides 25 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and output IP3 of +26 dBm, while requiring only 70 mA from a +3V supply. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables the LNA to function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers.

The HMC753LP4E is a GaAs MMIC Wideband, high linearity Low Noise Amplifier in a leadless 4x4mm plastic SMT package which operates from 1 to 11 GHz. The amplifier provides up to 17 dB of small signal gain, 1.5 dB noise figure, and output IP3 of +30 dBm, while requiring only 55 mA from a +5V supply. Ideal for high capacity microwave radios, the P1dB output power of up to +18 dBm enables this LNA to function as a LO driver for many of Hittite's balanced, I/Q, and image reject mixers.

Ideal for test and measurement applications, and driving the LO port of many of Hittite's mixers, the HMC772LC4 is a GaAs MMIC HEMT Wideband Low Noise Amplifier which operates from 2 to 12 GHz, and is housed in a ceramic 4x4mm SMT package. The amplifier provides 15 dB of gain, 1.8 dB noise figure and +13 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring only 45 mA from a +4V supply.
