CRBV55CXT-5700-5900

Overview

The CRBV55CXT-5700-5900 is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from the Crystek RedBox series, designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 5700 MHz to 5900 MHz with a center frequency of 5800 MHz. The device utilizes a 5 V supply voltage and accepts a tuning voltage between 1.5 V and 3.5 V. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -107 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, a maximum supply current of 25 mA, and an output power of 0 ±4 dBm. It features a push-pull characteristic of 0.5 MHz/V and exhibits a typical second harmonic level of -15 dBc. The component is housed in a module adapter package with SMA female connectors and supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated VCO design within the RedBox series for compact RF signal generation
• SMA female connector interface for direct cable attachment
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for industrial environments

Applications
