CVCO55CL-0902-0928

Overview

The CVCO55CL-0902-0928 is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) from the Crystek Corporation CVCO55 series. It operates within a frequency range of 902 MHz to 928 MHz, with a center frequency of 915 MHz. The device utilizes a tuning voltage supply ranging from 0.3 V to 4.7 V and requires a standard 5 V DC power supply. Key electrical specifications include an output power of -5.0 ±1 dBm, a typical phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz, and a second harmonic suppression of -20 dBc. The unit draws a maximum current of 40 mA and exhibits a pushing factor of 0.5 MHz/V. It is housed in a 16-QFN package measuring 12.70 mm x 12.70 mm x 5.59 mm.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable oscillation across a defined microwave frequency band using voltage-controlled tuning.
• Integrates low phase noise performance suitable for high-fidelity signal generation.
• Features compact surface-mount packaging designed for automated assembly processes.

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring precise frequency synthesis
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable local oscillator signals
• RF transceiver modules for industrial or commercial applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required frequency range and package type before ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Ensure that the supplier provides official datasheets to validate electrical parameters against system requirements. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding electrostatic discharge protection during storage and installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed frequency range near 915 MHz is required without external tuning components. Consider the 16-QFN footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the -5 dBm output power against amplifier needs. Compare phase noise specifications with system sensitivity requirements. Verify operating temperature range compatibility with the intended environment.
