Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Crystek datasheet to ensure compatibility with required tuning characteristics and package variants. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended operating temperature range and load capacitance requirements for your specific circuit design before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide frequency coverage within the UHF band is required alongside low phase noise. Ensure the application can accommodate the specified tuning voltage range and current consumption. Verify that the SMD footprint dimensions align with the available PCB space and thermal management capabilities of the host system.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CVCO55 series of voltage-controlled oscillators from Crystek Corporation. The series is characterized by its compact surface-mount packaging and broad frequency options. This specific model covers the 2060-2300 MHz range, distinguishing it from other series members like the CVCO55BE-2300-2575 which targets higher frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Crystek models within the CVCO55 family, such as the CVCO55BE-2300-2575, provided the frequency range difference is acceptable for the application. Cross-referencing pinouts and electrical parameters with alternative manufacturers' VCOs is necessary to ensure functional equivalence.
