CVCO55BE-2650-2700

Overview

The CVCO55BE-2650-2700 is a surface-mount voltage-controlled oscillator from the Crystek CVCO55 series, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2650 MHz to 2700 MHz. The component utilizes a BGA package and incorporates an internal temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) to ensure stability. Key electrical characteristics include low phase noise performance and wide bandwidth capabilities, making it suitable for demanding RF systems requiring precise frequency generation.

Feature Summary

• Integrated TCXO architecture for enhanced frequency stability
• Surface-mount BGA package design for compact integration
• Optimized for low phase noise and harmonic suppression

Applications

• Wireless communication base stations
• Point-to-point microwave links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BE against official Crystek documentation to confirm the 2650-2700 MHz frequency range. Ensure compatibility with the required BGA footprint and thermal management requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet for absolute maximum ratings and operating temperature limits before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a narrow band, high-frequency VCO with integrated TCXO is required. The BE variant specifically targets ultra-high frequency ranges compared to standard CVCO55 models. Evaluate phase noise requirements and supply current constraints against the official datasheet parameters to ensure system-level compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CVCO55 family of low phase noise, wide bandwidth VCOs. The BE suffix denotes the High Frequency variant within this series. These components are engineered for applications requiring stable frequency synthesis in compact form factors, distinguishing them from broader bandwidth or lower frequency options in the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes within the CVCO55 series include CVCO55BE-2130-2220 and CVCO55BE-3000-3100 for different frequency bands. Verify that the replacement maintains the same BGA package and TCXO configuration. Consult Crystek's official cross-reference guides to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the PCB layout.
