• Radio frequency (RF) circuit modules
• Test and measurement equipment signal sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct pinout and electrical specifications. Confirm that the required operating temperature range and package type align with your system design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed UHF frequency range between 2430 MHz and 2585 MHz is required. Consider the 0 V to 5 V control voltage compatibility with your existing bias circuits. Evaluate the 22 mA current draw against available power budgets in your application.

Part Context

This model belongs to the CVCO55 series of voltage-controlled oscillators from Crystek Microwave. The series provides various frequency options for microwave and radio frequency applications, offering consistent performance metrics across different tuning ranges within the UHF and higher bands.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Crystek models such as CVCO55BE-2130-2220 or CVCO55BE-3000-3100 if the frequency range differs but form factor remains critical. Verify pin compatibility and control voltage requirements before substitution.
