In some cases, application circuit performance can be enhanced at high temperatures by increasing the input supply
voltage as the temperature increases. The HMC1060LP3E offers a PTAT option that has been designed to improve
the performance of Hittite’s PLLs with Integrated VCOs. It is also potentially useful in many other applications, but the
user needs to verify the performance in a particular application circuit with this mode.
Figure 20 and Figure 21 quantify the benets of HMC1060LP3E’s PTAT mode. Figure 20 shows that the HMC1060LP3E’s
PTAT mode enables the HMC830LP6GE to achieve 0.5 dB better Phase Noise performance across all operating
frequencies at +85°C. Similarly, Figure 21 shows that the HMC1060LP3E’s PTAT mode enables the HMC830LP6GE
to achieve up to 0.8 dB increase in output power at +85°C across all operating frequencies.
External Enable Pin & Power-Up Timing
The HMC1060LP3E features an external Enable pin (EN) that can be used to enable/disable the outputs of the
HMC1060LP3E. This feature is especially useful in complex systems where the power-up and power-down procedure
of various subsystems requires precise management. HMC1060LP3E’s enable pin (EN) allows the controller to power-
cycle and turn on/off all of the circuits and components supplied by the HMC1060LP3E.

1 µF capacitor at the VREF input.

µF capacitor at the VREF input.
The power-up/power-down and power-cycle time can be controlled in the HMC1060LP3E by appropriately adjusting
the REF pin capacitor (C1 in the Application Schematic). As an example Figure 22 and Figure 23 show that using
a 1 µF capacitor on the REF pin of the HMC1060LP3E instead of 4.7 µF can reduce speed of the power up by
approximately 15 milliseconds. Figure 2 shows the effect on output noise when C1 is adjusted.
