CRBV55CL-0045-0070

Overview

The Crystek Corporation CRBV55CL-0045-0070 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) operating within a frequency range of 45 MHz to 70 MHz, with a center frequency of 57.5 MHz. It requires a supply voltage of 5 V and accepts a tuning voltage between 0.5 V and 10.5 V. The device delivers an output power of 5 ±3 dBm and exhibits a typical second harmonic level of -10 dBc. Maximum current consumption is 22 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage-controlled frequency modulation within the 45 MHz to 70 MHz band
• Integrates stable oscillator circuitry in a compact RedBox module format
• Supports wide tuning voltage input for flexible system integration

Applications

• Frequency synthesis systems
• Communication equipment local oscillators
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Crystek documentation to confirm electrical specifications and pinout configuration. Ensure that the required tuning voltage range and supply current align with the target system design constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency-range VCO is required for applications needing a 45 MHz to 70 MHz output. Consider the 5 V supply requirement and SMA connector interface compatibility with existing board layouts.

Part Context

This model belongs to the CRBV55 series of RedBox VCOs from Crystek Corporation. These modules are designed for microwave and RF applications requiring stable, voltage-tunable signals in a standardized package form factor suitable for surface mount or adapter integration.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Crystek substitution guides for compatible alternatives within the CRBV55 family. Verify that any substitute maintains identical frequency ranges, tuning characteristics, and mechanical dimensions.
