Procurement Notes
Verify the specific part number CVCO55BE-2900-3300 against official Crystek documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the required supply voltage of 8.4 V aligns with the design specifications. Check the package dimensions and pin configuration to validate PCB layout constraints. Ensure environmental conditions fall within the specified operating temperature range. Cross-reference datasheet parameters such as tuning sensitivity and output power before finalizing procurement decisions.
Selection Notes
Select this component when a precise frequency range between 2.9 GHz and 3.3 GHz is required. Consider the 8.4 V supply requirement during power budgeting. Evaluate the QFN-16 package size for space-constrained designs. Assess the need for low phase noise in signal integrity applications. Verify thermal management capabilities given the operating temperature limits. Compare tuning sensitivity against control circuit capabilities.
Part Context
This VCO belongs to the CVCO55 series from Crystek Corporation, which offers various frequency options. Similar models include CVCO55BE-2900-3100 and CVCO55CCQ-1700-1700. These components share common packaging and operational principles but differ in frequency ranges and specific electrical characteristics. The series is designed for consistent performance in microwave applications.
Replacement Considerations
Direct substitutes may include other Crystek VCOs within the same series, such as CVCO55BE-2900-3100, provided the frequency range meets application needs. Verify electrical parameters and pin compatibility before substitution.
