CVCO55CC-2230-2430

Overview

The CVCO55CC-2230-2430 is a coaxial resonator voltage-controlled oscillator manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 2.23 GHz to 2.43 GHz, with a typical center frequency of 2.33 GHz. The device requires a fixed supply voltage of 5 V and accepts a tuning voltage range of 0.1 V to 4.9 V. Output power is specified at approximately 3.981 mW, and the unit features a load capacitance of 33 pF. The physical package dimensions are 12.7 mm by 12.7 mm.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a coaxial resonator design for stable oscillation performance
• Provides wide frequency tuning capability via variable control voltage input
• Operates on a standard single 5 V DC power supply rail

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring precise frequency synthesis
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable RF signal generation
• Wireless infrastructure components operating in the 2 GHz band

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Crystek datasheet to ensure correct frequency tolerance and phase noise specifications. Confirm that the required tuning voltage range aligns with system control circuitry capabilities. Check lead time availability as manufacturing schedules may vary. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the sensitive nature of microwave frequency control components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5 V supply is available and a tuning range covering 2.23 GHz to 2.43 GHz is required. Consider the 12.7 x 12.7 mm footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate if the coaxial resonator topology meets phase noise requirements compared to other oscillator types. Verify that the output power level is sufficient for downstream amplifier stages or direct coupling needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to Crystek's CVCO series of voltage-controlled oscillators, which are designed for frequency control applications. The CVCO55CC variant specifically denotes a coaxial resonator construction. Crystek Corporation manufactures these devices using quartz-based resonators under their frequency control division, focusing on stability and precision for microwave industry support products.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires matching the 2.23–2.43 GHz frequency range, 5 V supply requirement, and 12.7 x 12.7 mm package dimensions. Cross-referencing with other Crystek CVCO models may be necessary if pinout compatibility differs.
