HMC706LC3CTR-R5

RF Misc ICs and Modules

Analog Devices\' HMC706LC3CTR-R5 is a programmed phase-locked loop IC designed for high frequency radio applications such as cellular systems, satellite communications, and test and measurement gear. The device features a wide RF operating frequency range (L-Band) with optimized performance, and is engineered for high reliability and flexibility.

Application field

The HMC706LC3CTR is particularly suited for applications that require wideband RF signal modulation, such as radio-frequency (RF) signal transmission, and RF signal amplification. These functions are commonly used in military communications, cell phone transmitters, satellite communications and a variety of other RF communications applications. With its wide range of operating frequencies, the device is also suitable for use in base band receivers, frequency synthesizers, phase-locked loops (PLLs) and Frequency Agile Link (FAL) systems.

Working principle

The HMC706LC3CTR operates on the principles of a phase-locked loop, which enables it to precisely synchronize an output frequency to a reference frequency. This enables it to provide accurate frequency modulation of RF signals, while also compensating for frequency drift across temperature and process variations in the underlying electronic components. In addition, the HMC706LC3CTR can be used to actively cancel jitter and noise associated with the reference frequency, and provide power supply regulation.

The device has been designed to offer configurable low noise, tight accuracy and fast locking times. Its internal phase detector provides high frequency stability (both with respect to temperature and supply variations). It includes a variety of customizable features such as programmable frequency and amplitude modulation, adjustable limits for frequency setting and power control, and a wide range of power management modes. The device utilizes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an ARM Cortex-M0 core processor to allow for easy and efficient debugging and customization.

The HMC706LC3CTR is also highly efficient, with low power consumption and high performance. This makes it ideal for battery-powered applications, as well as those requiring robustness in highly variable environments. In conclusion, the HMC706LC3CTR is an ideal candidate for high frequency radio applications such as cellular systems, satellite communications, and test and measurement gear.
