CVCO55CC-1850-1850

Overview

The CVCO55CC-1850-1850 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates with a center frequency of 1850 MHz and requires a 5 V supply voltage. The tuning voltage range is specified from 0.5 V to 4.5 V DC. The device features a typical second harmonic level of -15 dBc. It is designed for operation within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Voltage-controlled oscillator functionality with coaxial resonator design
• Operates within a wide industrial temperature range
• Active product status with standard strip packaging

Applications

• Microwave frequency synthesis systems
• RF communication equipment requiring stable local oscillators
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Crystek documentation to ensure correct frequency and tuning specifications. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the -40°C to 85°C rating. Check for any specific handling requirements related to the surface mount package type during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 1850 MHz is required with a defined tuning voltage window. Ensure the system power supply can provide a stable 5 V rail. Consider the -15 dBc second harmonic performance in relation to downstream filtering requirements. Verify compatibility with the intended PCB footprint and thermal management strategy.
