CRBV55BE-2200-2570

Overview

The CRBV55BE-2200-2570 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 2200 MHz to 2570 MHz, centered at 2385 MHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 1 V and 17 V for proper operation. It is housed in a standard Red Box package with dimensions of 0.625 inches by 0.625 inches by 0.625 inches (15.88 mm x 15.88 mm x 15.88 mm). The component features three primary pins: Vcc for power supply, RF for the output signal, and Vt for the tuning voltage control.

Feature Summary

• Voltage-controlled frequency generation capability
• Standardized Red Box mechanical housing format
• Single-pin tuning voltage interface

Applications

• RF signal generation circuits
• Frequency synthesis systems
• Wireless communication transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct frequency range and pinout configuration. Confirm that the required operating voltage range aligns with system power supplies. Check for any specific environmental or compliance certifications required for the intended deployment environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed frequency range of 2200 MHz to 2570 MHz is required. Ensure the design accommodates the 1 V to 17 V supply requirement. Consider the physical footprint of the 0.625-inch cubic package during PCB layout. Verify that the tuning voltage interface matches the control circuitry available in the system architecture.

Part Context

This model belongs to the CVCO55BE series of voltage-controlled oscillators from Crystek Corporation. The series utilizes a standardized Red Box package design common in microwave applications. Other variants in the family offer different center frequencies and tuning ranges while maintaining similar physical dimensions and operational principles.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Crystek models within the CVCO55BE series, such as the CRBV55BE-2250-2290 or CRBV55BE-2300-2600, provided their specific frequency ranges meet the application requirements. Cross-vendor replacements require careful verification of pin compatibility and electrical specifications.
