Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity through official Crystek channels or authorized distributors. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required frequency and voltage specifications. Request original datasheets to validate electrical parameters against application requirements. Ensure storage conditions comply with manufacturer guidelines to maintain component integrity prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed frequency range near 2.38 GHz is required with precise voltage control. Consider the 4.5 dBm output power for direct driving capabilities. Evaluate the -25 dBc second harmonic performance against system interference limits. Ensure the 0.3 V to 4.7 V tuning range aligns with available control circuitry voltages.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CVCO55 series of voltage controlled oscillators produced by Crystek Corporation. The series includes various models covering different frequency bands and tuning characteristics. Crystek specializes in frequency control products, including quartz crystals, TCXOs, and VCOs, serving both standard and specialized microwave applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Cross-reference with other CVCO55 series variants such as CVCO55CC-2380-2580 only if frequency ranges overlap sufficiently. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
