CMOD225-10-100

Overview

The CMOD225-10-100 is a phase-locked loop module manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It functions as a frequency translator, utilizing an internal ultra-low phase noise voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) operating at 100 MHz. The device locks this internal oscillator to an external 10 MHz input frequency reference. It operates within a supply voltage range of 5.5 V to 15 V and features SMA connectors for interface connections.

Feature Summary

• Phase locks an internal ultra-low phase noise 100 MHz VCXO to an external 10 MHz input frequency reference
• Functions as a PLL module frequency translator
• Utilizes SMA connectors for physical interface

Applications

• Frequency translation systems requiring precise phase locking
• Applications needing ultra-low phase noise generation referenced to 10 MHz standards
• RF signal processing modules integrating VCXO technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical characteristics directly from Crystek Corporation or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the 5.5 V to 15 V supply requirement aligns with system power constraints. Ensure SMA connector compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Check lifecycle status, as some sources indicate potential obsolescence, and validate RoHS3 compliance if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 100 MHz output derived from a 10 MHz reference is required with minimal phase noise. The wide supply voltage range (5.5 V–15 V) offers flexibility in power design compared to lower-voltage alternatives. Consider the module form factor and SMA interfaces for mechanical integration. This part is suitable for applications prioritizing frequency stability and low jitter over compact surface-mount solutions.

Part Context

This module belongs to Crystek Corporation's portfolio of RF and wireless components, specifically designed for precision timing and frequency synthesis. Unlike standard clock oscillators such as the CCHD series, this unit integrates a PLL architecture with a VCXO core. It serves as a specialized solution for translating reference frequencies while maintaining high spectral purity in demanding RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify availability and lifecycle status through official Crystek channels, as some distributor listings indicate the product may be obsolete.
