CVCO55BE-3200-3400

Overview

The CVCO55BE-3200-3400 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from the Crystek CVCO55 series, designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 3200 MHz to 3400 MHz, with a center frequency of 3300 MHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage range of 0.3 V to 4.7 V and requires a 5 V supply. Key electrical specifications include an output power of -5.0 ±1 dBm, a typical phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz, and a second harmonic suppression of -20 dBc. It features a pushing factor of 0.5 MHz/V and a maximum current consumption of 40 mA. The component is housed in a 16-QFN package measuring 12.70mm x 12.70mm x 5.59mm and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a voltage-controlled oscillator within the 3200 MHz to 3400 MHz frequency band.
• Provides stable RF output with specified phase noise and harmonic suppression characteristics.
