CVCO55BE-1600-1850

Overview

The CVCO55BE-1600-1850 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator from the CVCO55 series by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 1600 MHz to 1850 MHz with a center frequency of 1725 MHz. The device requires a supply voltage of 5V and accepts a tuning voltage between 0.3 V and 4.7 V. It delivers an output power of -5.0 ±1 dBm with a typical phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. The second harmonic is typically -20 dBc, and current consumption is 40 mA max. It features a pushing factor of 0.5 MHz/V and functions in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., BE) against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct frequency range and tuning voltage specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental classifications prior to ordering. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number or manufacturer product number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and current availability status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range near 1.7 GHz is required. Ensure the system can provide the specified 5V supply and appropriate tuning voltage levels. Consider the -5 dBm output power and phase noise characteristics relative to system sensitivity requirements. Verify thermal management capabilities for the operating temperature range.
