CVCO55CC-3200-3200

Overview

The CVCO55CC-3200-3200 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 3200 MHz to 3200 MHz, indicating a fixed or narrow-band configuration centered at 3200 MHz. The device supports an operating voltage of 8 V and utilizes a 16-pin SMD package with dimensions of 12.7 x 12.7 mm. It is designed for industrial applications with an extended temperature range spanning from -40°C to +85°C. The component complies with RoHS standards and features a lead-free status.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a Voltage Controlled Oscillator in the microwave frequency spectrum.
• Utilizes a compact 16-pin Surface Mount Device (SMD) package format.
• Engineered for reliable performance across an extended industrial temperature range.

Applications

• Microwave radio systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Industrial electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance and phase noise specifications against the official Crystek datasheet prior to integration. Confirm that the 8V supply requirement aligns with the target circuit design. Ensure the 16-pin SMD footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Check for any specific ordering suffixes that may alter pinout or electrical characteristics. Validate RoHS compliance documentation if required by regulatory standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable microwave oscillator near 3200 MHz is required for industrial environments. Consider the 8V operating voltage and thermal management needs for the -40°C to 85°C range. Evaluate the 12.7x12.7mm package size against available board space. Compare performance metrics such as tuning sensitivity and output power against alternative VCOs in the CVCO55 series if broader tuning ranges are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CVCO55 series of Voltage Controlled Oscillators from Crystek Microwave. The series covers various frequency bands for RF and microwave applications. The CC suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tuning characteristics within the product line. These oscillators are designed for use in systems requiring precise frequency generation in harsh environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Crystek CVCO55 series models with compatible frequency ranges and package types. Verify electrical parameters such as supply voltage and current consumption before swapping. Cross-reference with similar VCOs from other manufacturers only if pinout and form factor compatibility is confirmed.
