CRBV55BE-1690-2062

Overview

The CRBV55BE-1690-2062 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator from the RedBox series by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 1690 to 2062 MHz, with a center frequency of 1876 MHz. The device requires a 5V supply and accepts a tuning voltage between 0V and 5V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum current consumption of 20mA, an output power of 5 ±2 dBm, and a typical second harmonic level of -22 dBc. The unit features a pushing sensitivity of 6 MHz/V.

Feature Summary

• Voltage-controlled operation utilizing a 0V to 5V tuning input for frequency adjustment
• Integrated design housed in a compact RedBox package measuring 31.75x14.99mm
• Stable output performance with specified phase noise and harmonic suppression characteristics

Applications

• RF signal generation in communication systems
• Frequency synthesis circuits
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct frequency and pinout configuration. Confirm that the required operating temperature range and supply voltage align with system design constraints before ordering. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency near 1876 MHz is required with moderate tuning bandwidth. Evaluate the 20mA current draw against power budget limitations. Consider the -22 dBc harmonic specification relative to adjacent channel interference requirements in the target application environment.
