CRBV55CL-0373-0391

Overview

The Crystek Corporation CRBV55CL-0373-0391 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) operating within the 373 to 391 MHz frequency range, with a center frequency of 382 MHz. It utilizes a 1.5 V to 3.5 V supply voltage and delivers an output power of 0 ±4 dBm. The device features a typical second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc and exhibits a phase noise of -114 dBc/Hz. Maximum current consumption is specified at 25 mA. The component is housed in a Module Adapter package with three SMA female connectors and measures 31.75 mm by 14.99 mm.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a voltage-controlled oscillator with a tunable frequency range between 373 and 391 MHz.
• Integrates SMA female connectors for signal interface within a compact module adapter form factor.
• Provides stable output power with controlled harmonic distortion characteristics.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct frequency tuning range and connector configuration. Confirm that the module adapter package type matches system integration requirements. Check for lead-free compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Ensure supply voltage specifications align with the 1.5 V to 3.5 V operational window before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency-range VCO near 382 MHz is required. Consider the 0 ±4 dBm output power level for downstream amplifier needs. Evaluate the -114 dBc/Hz phase noise specification against system sensitivity requirements. Verify that the SMA female connector interface is compatible with existing RF cabling infrastructure.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Crystek CRBV55CL series of voltage-controlled oscillators. The series typically offers various frequency bands tailored for different RF applications. The CRBV55CL-0373-0391 specifically targets the UHF band around 382 MHz. It shares the standard module adapter housing design common to this product family.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Crystek models in the CRBV55CL series for alternative frequency ranges. Verify pinout and connector compatibility when substituting with similar VCO modules from other manufacturers. Ensure electrical parameters such as supply voltage and output power remain within acceptable limits for the target application.
