CVCO55BE-2700-3275

Overview

The CVCO55BE-2700-3275 is a voltage-controlled oscillator from Crystek Corporation operating within the 2700 to 3275 MHz frequency range. It utilizes a QFN-16 surface-mount package measuring 12.70 x 12.70 mm with a height of 3.81 mm. The device requires a 5V supply and draws 25mA of current. Key electrical specifications include a tuning slope of 4 MHz/V, a control voltage range of 1 to 17V, and an output power of 4±2 dBm. Phase noise is rated at -100 dBc/KHz, with second harmonic suppression at -15dBc. It functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
