Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number CVCO55BE-2475-2900 matches the required frequency range and tuning voltage specifications before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the 8V supply requirement and confirm that the QFN-16 package footprint aligns with the design layout. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range up to 16V is required for the VCO control input. Consider the 8V supply voltage constraint and the -2.5 dBm output power level against system requirements. Evaluate the thermal operating range and package size constraints to ensure suitability for the intended application environment.
