CVCO55CC-2080-2080

Overview

The CVCO55CC-2080-2080 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for microwave frequency control applications. It operates at a center frequency of 2080 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 300 mVDC to 4.7 VDC. The device requires an 8 V supply voltage and delivers a typical output power of ±2 dBm. It features a second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc and utilizes a 22 pF load capacitance. The component is housed in a QFN-16 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial resonator design for stable microwave frequency generation
• Wide tuning voltage range enabling flexible frequency control
• Integrated phase noise performance optimized for communication systems

Applications

• Microwave communication transceivers
• Local oscillator sources in radar systems
• Frequency synthesizer modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Crystek datasheet to ensure compatibility with required packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the 8V supply requirement aligns with your system's power architecture. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your deployment. Ensure the QFN-16 thermal pad requirements are met in your PCB layout design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency near 2080 MHz is required with analog voltage tuning capabilities. Consider the 8V supply constraint as it differs from standard 3.3V or 5V logic levels. Evaluate the QFN-16 footprint availability in your manufacturing process. Compare phase noise specifications against system sensitivity requirements before finalizing the choice.

Part Context

This part belongs to Crystek’s CVCO55 series of voltage-controlled oscillators, which utilize coaxial resonator technology for improved stability. The series includes various models covering different frequency bands, all sharing similar form factors and electrical characteristics. Crystek manufactures these devices under its Microwave division, focusing on high-performance frequency control solutions for industrial and commercial markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Crystek CVCO55 series variants such as the CVCO55CC-1770-1770 for lower frequency needs, provided the pinout and supply voltage remain compatible. Cross-brand replacements require careful verification of tuning curve linearity and output power levels to ensure system performance parity.
