CVCO55CC-1420-1480

Overview

The CVCO55CC-1420-1480 is a Coaxial Resonator Oscillator (CRO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates as a voltage-controlled oscillator with a tuning range of 1420 MHz to 1480 MHz and a center frequency of 1450 MHz. The device accepts a control voltage input between 1 V and 10 V. It delivers an output power of ±3 dBm. The component is designed for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes coaxial resonator technology for stable oscillation
• Provides wide voltage control range from 1 V to 10 V
• Operates in extended industrial temperature environments

Applications

• Microwave frequency synthesis systems
• Phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizers
• RF communication equipment requiring stable local oscillators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct tuning range and package specifications. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the -40°C to +85°C rating. Request the latest datasheet directly from the manufacturer or authorized distributors to validate electrical parameters such as output power and phase noise characteristics before integration into design projects.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a coaxial resonator based VCO is required for microwave applications near 1.45 GHz. Ensure the system design supports the 1 V to 10 V control voltage interface. Consider the physical dimensions of 12.7 x 12.7 mm for PCB layout compatibility. Verify that the ±3 dBm output power meets the requirements of subsequent RF stages without additional amplification.

Part Context

This model belongs to the CVCO55 series of Coaxial Resonator Oscillators produced by Crystek Microwave, a division of Crystek Corporation. The series focuses on high-performance frequency control products for the microwave industry. These devices are distinct from quartz-based crystals and standard clock oscillators, offering voltage-tunable capabilities suitable for dynamic frequency generation in complex RF architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users must consult official Crystek resources for cross-reference data. Direct replacement requires matching the coaxial resonator topology, tuning range, and control voltage specifications to maintain system performance integrity.
