Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the 16-QFN package dimensions and pinout match the PCB layout. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the specific application environment constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandwidth voltage controlled oscillator is required within the 180-200 MHz range. Consider the -118 dBc/Hz phase noise specification for applications demanding high spectral purity. Evaluate the 0.5 V to 4.5 V tuning voltage range against available control circuitry. The 12.7mm square footprint should be assessed against available board space in the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CVCO55 series of Voltage Controlled Oscillators produced by Crystek Corporation. The series is characterized by its suitability for narrow band applications, providing low phase noise and low harmonic distortion. The CVCO55CL-0180-0200 specifically targets the 180-200 MHz frequency segment, utilizing a standardized QFN package format common to the family for consistent mechanical integration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other CVCO55 series variants such as CVCO55CC-0444-0485 for different frequency bands. Verify functional equivalence only if the replacement matches the 180-200 MHz range, 16-QFN package, and similar electrical parameters like phase noise and tuning voltage.
