HMC533LP4E

Product Overview

HMC533LP4E from Analog Devices Inc. is a MMIC VCO with divide-by-16 output used in RF, microwave or high-speed signal-chain designs. This description focuses on practical electrical parameters, interface requirements and sourcing relevance for engineering and procurement teams.

The exact ordering suffix should be checked for package style, reel or tray format, temperature grade and board-level compatibility before replacing an existing design.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Analog Devices Inc.
• Part Number: HMC533LP4E
• Device Type: MMIC VCO with divide-by-16 output
• Functional Role: 24 GHz oscillator generation with integrated low-frequency feedback output
• Function: MMIC VCO with integrated divide-by-16 output
• Frequency Range: 23.8 GHz to 24.8 GHz fundamental VCO range
• Prescaler Output: divide-by-16 output supports PLL feedback architectures
• Technology: GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC VCO technology
• External Resonator: no external resonator required
• Package / Case: 24-lead 4 mm x 4 mm LP4 / QFN surface-mount package family
• Design Note: verify tuning voltage, loop filter and divide-by-16 output usage against the original PLL design
• Design Notes: Confirm the exact suffix, package drawing, temperature grade, RF evaluation layout and bias/control sequence before substitution or production approval.

Applications

24 GHz microwave radios, radar local oscillators, test equipment and compact PLL synthesizer designs.

Legacy oscillator modules where exact HMC533 suffix and package must be retained for layout and loop-stability reasons.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing for HMC533LP4E through available stock checks, BOM consolidation and alternative-lot review. For RF and microwave ICs, package markings, moisture sensitivity, date code and original labeling should be checked before shipment.

For shortage coverage, repair builds or production support, Antrex Electronics can coordinate visual inspection, package verification and third-party testing when required. This helps buyers reduce risk when sourcing discontinued, legacy or hard-to-find RF miscellaneous ICs and modules.
