CVCO33CL-0110-0150

Overview

The CVCO33CL-0110-0150 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for frequency synthesis applications. It operates within a tuning range of 110 MHz to 150 MHz, with a center frequency of 130 MHz. The device requires a control voltage input between 0 V and 5 V to adjust the output frequency. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset and an output power of 0 ±3 dBm. The maximum supply current (Icc) is 10 mA. The component utilizes a 12-QFN surface-mount package with dimensions of 7.62 mm x 7.62 mm.

Feature Summary

• Offers excellent linearity across the tuning range for stable frequency generation.
• Features low phase noise performance suitable for high-fidelity signal processing.
• Provides consistent output power with minimal variation over the operating voltage.

Applications

• Frequency synthesizers in communication systems
• Local oscillators in radio frequency receivers
• Signal generators requiring precise frequency control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against the official Crystek datasheet to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the 12-QFN footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Check the latest revision history for any updates to electrical characteristics or mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range from 110 MHz to 150 MHz is required with low phase noise. Ensure the system can provide a stable 0-5 V control voltage and supports a maximum current draw of 10 mA. Consider the 12-QFN package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the power dissipation profile.
