CVCO55CC-3475-3475

Overview

The CVCO55CC-3475-3475 is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates at a center frequency of 3475 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 V to 4.5 V. The device delivers an output power of ±2 dBm and features a tuning sensitivity of 1000 MHz/V. It utilizes a coaxial resonator design to achieve ultra-low phase noise, suitable for narrowband applications. The component is housed in a 16-QFN package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes coaxial resonator technology for ultra-low phase noise performance
• Designed specifically for narrowband application requirements
• Provides wide tuning sensitivity of 1000 MHz/V across the specified voltage range

Applications

• Narrowband communication systems
• Frequency synthesis circuits
• Microwave signal generation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and pinout configuration before integration. Confirm that the 16-QFN package dimensions align with the PCB footprint. Ensure the supply voltage remains within the 0.5 V to 4.5 V DC range to prevent damage. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by regulatory standards. Validate thermal management strategies for the QFN package under continuous operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low phase noise is critical for narrowband operations at 3475 MHz. Consider the 16-QFN package size constraints during layout. Evaluate the need for external filtering given the output power level. Compare tuning linearity requirements against the 1000 MHz/V sensitivity specification. Ensure the control voltage source can provide stable signals within the 0.5 V to 4.5 V window.
