Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CL' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm environmental compliance and pinout configuration. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact frequency range required (1030-1090 MHz). Cross-reference the RoHS status and ECCN classification with current export regulations before finalizing procurement orders to ensure regulatory compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed frequency range of 1030-1090 MHz is required with moderate phase noise specifications. Consider the 5V supply requirement and 40mA current draw for power budgeting. The 12.7mm square package size must be accommodated in the PCB layout. Compare against other CVCO55 variants if different frequency bands or tighter phase noise metrics are needed for the specific application design.
