CVCO55BE-2650-2800

Overview

The CVCO55BE-2650-2800 is a voltage-controlled oscillator from the CVCO55 series by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 2650 to 2800 MHz, with a center frequency of 2725 MHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage range of 0.5 V to 4.5 V and requires a 5.0 V supply. Key electrical specifications include a typical output power of 0 dBm ±3.0 dB, a maximum current consumption of 40 mA, and a phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz. It features a pushing factor of 0.5 MHz/V and second harmonic rejection of 25 dBc. The component is housed in a 16-QFN package measuring 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable microwave frequency generation across the 2650–2800 MHz band using voltage control.
• Delivers consistent output power performance with low phase noise characteristics for signal integrity.
• Designed for compact integration via a surface-mount QFN package suitable for space-constrained applications.

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring precise frequency synthesis
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable local oscillators
• Microwave receiver and transmitter front-end modules

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required frequency range and package type before ordering. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your project. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets to validate electrical parameters such as phase noise and output power against system requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range above 2.6 GHz is necessary with moderate output power. Consider the 40 mA current draw for power budget calculations. The 16-QFN footprint requires appropriate PCB layout considerations for thermal management and RF grounding to maintain specified performance levels.

Part Context

This model belongs to the CVCO55 series, which offers various frequency options within the microwave spectrum. The series is characterized by its standardized form factor and voltage control interface, allowing designers to swap frequencies while maintaining mechanical compatibility across different product designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official CVCO55 selector guide for alternative part numbers with different frequency ranges or tuning voltages. Direct substitutes must match the 16-QFN package and pinout configuration to ensure board-level compatibility without redesign.
