Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and revision level against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the 5V supply voltage and current rating align with the target circuit design. Check for any updated mechanical dimensions or thermal management guidelines prior to integration into the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range around 2.6 GHz is required with moderate output power. Consider the 78 MHz/V tuning sensitivity for loop bandwidth calculations in PLL designs. Ensure the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range meets environmental constraints. Evaluate the -15 dBc second harmonic level against spectral purity requirements for the specific application band.
