CVCO55CC-2425-2440

Overview

The CVCO55CC-2425-2440 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 2425 MHz to 2440 MHz, with a center frequency of 2432.5 MHz. The device requires a supply voltage between 0.3 V and 4.7 V and consumes a maximum current of 40 mA at 5.0 V input. It delivers an output power of ±5 dBm and exhibits a typical second harmonic level of -20 dBc. The component is housed in a standard 0.5-inch by 0.5-inch SMD package, specifically a QFN-16 configuration, and functions reliably across a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C.
