CVCO55CC-2365-2415

Overview

The CVCO55CC-2365-2415 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for microwave frequency control applications. It operates within a tuning range of 2365 MHz to 2415 MHz, with a center frequency of 2390 MHz. The device utilizes a coaxial resonator architecture and accepts a control voltage input between 0.5 V and 10.0 V. It delivers an output power of 8 ±0.4 dBm and exhibits a typical second harmonic suppression of -15 dBc. The unit functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial resonator construction for stable microwave oscillation
• Wide tuning range capability centered at 2390 MHz
• Extended industrial operating temperature specification

Applications

• Microwave frequency synthesis systems
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizer modules
• RF communication transceiver local oscillators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Crystek datasheet to ensure correct frequency range and package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer prior to placement. Ensure environmental specifications match the target application's thermal constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range around 2.4 GHz is required with high phase noise performance. The 0.5 V to 10 V control voltage interface offers flexibility in drive circuit design. Consider the SMD package dimensions and thermal management capabilities for integration into compact microwave assemblies requiring operation up to 85°C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CVCO55 series of voltage-controlled oscillators produced by Crystek Microwave. The series focuses on quartz-based and coaxial resonator technologies for frequency control. Similar models in the lineup include CVCO55CC-2353-2366 and CVCO55CC-2328-2536, which offer different tuning ranges while maintaining comparable form factors and electrical characteristics for modular design consistency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Evaluate CVCO55CC-2353-2366 for narrower tuning range needs or CVCO55CL-1487-1587 for lower frequency applications. Cross-reference pinouts and control voltage ranges before substitution to ensure compatibility with existing PLL circuits.
