Voltage Controlled Oscillators, often referred to as VCOs, provide continuous, stable output frequencies over a wide range. The HMC514LP5ETR is capable of providing different types of Flexi-VCOs with different frequency ranges as well as a range of output options adjustable VCC or ground voltage references.

The performance of HMC514LP5ETR makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. This device is commonly seen in broadcast receivers, radar warning systems, and other radio based products. It covers the frequency range of 5 to 11 GHz, with a single conversion loss of up to 10 dB. By combining two stages of very linear phase locked loop (PLL) with its low jitter, this VCO can provide the necessary output in a variety of applications.

The core of the HMC514LP5ETR is a Synthesized Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) are oscillators that produce a sinusoidal output signal for which its frequency can be controlled by varying the voltage associated with it. VCOs are used where frequency control is important, such as radio stations and for experimentation purposes. This VCO is suitable for multiple applications such as rotating machinery measurements, ECG, EKG and many other radio frequency applications.

The operating principle of the HMC514LP5ETR follows basic VCO principles. The circuit is composed of two elements - a frequency dependent resistor and a capacitor. The resistor provides a voltage across the capacitor, and when the voltage is varied, so is the frequency of the oscillator. This is due to the changing capacitance of the capacitor, which affects the time constant and thus the frequency of the oscillator.

When a signal is applied to the frequency dependent resistor, the capacitor starts to charge. This causes the voltage across the capacitor to increase until it reaches a point where the capacitor discharges, creating a voltage pulse. This pulse is then fed back to the frequency dependent resistor and the process is repeated, creating a continuous output signal of predetermined frequency.

The HMC514LP5ETR is capable of producing dual and single sided output signals with adjustable p-p drive levels. The mixing option includes adjustable output impedance and is adjustable from 0 to 5 ohms. An integrated lock detect and shut off function is also included, which can be set to a variety of levels based on the application’s specific needs.

In conclusion, the HMC514LP5ETR is a high performance VCO. It covers the frequency range of 5 to 11 GHz with up to 10 dB single conversion loss and can provide a variety of output options. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as broadcast receivers, radar warning systems and many other radio based products. Its operating principle follows that of a standard VCO, comprising of a frequency dependent resistor and a capacitor, both of which contribute to creating a continuous output signal of predetermined frequency.
