CVCO55CL-0655-0730

Overview

The CVCO55CL-0655-0730 is a surface-mount voltage-controlled oscillator manufactured by Crystek Corporation. It operates within a frequency range of 655 to 730 MHz, with a center frequency of 692.5 MHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage range of 0.3 V to 4.7 V and exhibits a tuning sensitivity of 25 MHz/V. Output power is specified at approximately 2 dBm, with a typical second harmonic suppression of -8 dBc. Pulling characteristics range from 0.5 to 1 MHz. The component is housed in a compact 16-QFN package variant.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount voltage-controlled oscillator design for integrated circuit applications
• Wide frequency coverage spanning 655 MHz to 730 MHz
• Low phase noise performance with controlled harmonic distortion

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring stable local oscillation
• Test and measurement equipment signal generation
• RF receiver front-end frequency synthesis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required pinout and electrical specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the package dimensions with your PCB footprint library to prevent assembly errors during production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range above 650 MHz is required in a small form factor. Consider the 16-QFN package constraints for thermal management and soldering profiles. Evaluate the 25 MHz/V tuning sensitivity against your control voltage resolution requirements to ensure adequate frequency accuracy across the operating band.
