CVCO55CC-2000-2000

Overview

The CVCO55CC-2000-2000 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for microwave frequency applications. It features a center frequency of 2000 MHz with a tuning range spanning from 2000 MHz to 2000 MHz, indicating a fixed or narrow-band configuration within the specified model designation. The device operates on a DC supply voltage ranging from 0.3 V to 4.7 V. Key electrical specifications include an output power of 7 ±2 dBm and a typical second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc. The component is rated for operation across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial resonator design for stable microwave oscillation
• Voltage-controlled tuning capability via external bias
• Integrated SMD package for surface-mount assembly

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Frequency synthesis circuits
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and ordering suffixes to ensure compatibility with your system requirements. Confirm that the 2000-2000 MHz specification aligns with your exact frequency needs, as this may denote a fixed-frequency variant rather than a wide-tuning VCO. Check for any required evaluation boards or associated components for proper integration and performance validation in your final design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2000 MHz center frequency is required with a 0.3 V to 4.7 V control voltage range. Consider the 7 ±2 dBm output power and -15 dBc second harmonic suppression for signal integrity. Ensure the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range meets your environmental constraints. The SMD form factor supports automated PCB assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CVCO55 series of coaxial resonator oscillators from Crystek Corporation. The series includes various models with different center frequencies and tuning ranges, such as the CVCO55CC-1850-1850. These devices are engineered for high stability and are commonly used in RF front-end modules where precise frequency generation is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include other CVCO55CC variants with different frequency codes, such as CVCO55CC-1850-1850, if the frequency requirement differs. Cross-referencing with other manufacturers' 2 GHz VCOs requires careful verification of pinout, voltage range, and harmonic performance specifications.
