CRBV55CL-0600-0880

Overview

The Crystek Corporation CRBV55CL-0600-0880 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 600 MHz to 880 MHz, with a center frequency of 740 MHz. The device requires a control voltage input between 0.5 V and 4.5 V to tune the output frequency. It delivers an output power of 0 ±3 dBm. The component supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is powered by a 5V supply. It utilizes a Module Adapter package equipped with SMA F connectors.

Feature Summary
