Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Crystek Corporation documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the tuning voltage range and supply voltage specifications align with the host circuit design. Check for any specific ordering suffixes or package variations that may affect integration. Ensure that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application. Consult authorized distributors for availability and lead times as these factors can impact procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency VCO solution near 1690 MHz is required. Consider the 2.5 dBm output power and -15 dBc second harmonic performance relative to system noise and interference requirements. Evaluate the 300 mVDC to 4.7 VDC tuning voltage range against available control voltages. Assess the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range for environmental suitability. Compare against other Crystek VCO models if broader tuning ranges or different power levels are needed.
