ADF5709BEZ-R7

Overview

The ADF5709BEZ-R7 is a wideband monolithic microwave integrated circuit voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 9.85 GHz to 20.5 GHz, providing a wide tuning bandwidth suitable for high-frequency applications. The device features low single-sideband phase noise, specified at -83 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset. Packaged in a compact 24-CLCC surface-mount package, it is designed for robust performance in demanding RF environments.

Feature Summary

• Wide output frequency range spanning 9.85 GHz to 20.5 GHz
• Low single-sideband phase noise performance
• Compact 24-lead CLCC surface-mount packaging

Applications

• Radar systems
• VSAT communications
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix R7 against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT assembly processes for the 24-CLCC package. Cross-reference the part number with current manufacturer availability status, as supply conditions may vary. Confirm that the component meets all relevant RoHS compliance requirements before integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this VCO when a wide continuous tuning range above 9 GHz is required. Consider the phase noise specification relative to system sensitivity requirements. Evaluate the thermal characteristics of the CLCC package for adequate heat dissipation in the target application. Verify that the control voltage interface aligns with the available tuning sources in the design architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADF5709 family of wideband MMIC VCOs from Analog Devices. It is engineered for high-performance RF signal generation in microwave bands. The series supports applications requiring stable frequency synthesis with minimal phase degradation over a broad operational spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices substitution guides for verified alternative part numbers. Do not assume functional equivalence with other VCO families without detailed parameter comparison.
