CVCO55BE-1350-1400

Overview

The CVCO55BE-1350-1400 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from the Crystek CVCO55 series, designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1350 MHz to 1400 MHz with a center frequency of 1375 MHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage range of 0.3 V to 4.7 V and requires a supply voltage of 5 V. Key electrical specifications include a typical output power of -5.0 ±1 dBm, phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz, and a second harmonic suppression of -20 dBc. The maximum current consumption is 40 mA, with a pushing factor of 0.5 MHz/V. It is housed in a 16-QFN package measuring 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct frequency range and pinout configuration. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components. Ensure that the required tuning voltage and supply current capabilities match your system design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed frequency range between 1350 MHz and 1400 MHz is required. Consider the -5 dBm output power level for direct drive or amplification needs. Evaluate the -118 dBc/Hz phase noise specification against your system's sensitivity requirements. Verify that the 16-QFN footprint fits within your PCB layout constraints and thermal management plan.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CVCO55 series of voltage-controlled oscillators manufactured by Crystek Corporation. The series offers various frequency ranges tailored for microwave and RF applications.
