FMXC7000

Overview

The FMXC7000 is a phase-locked oscillator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for operation at 500 MHz. It functions as a precision signal source within the PLL category, providing stable frequency generation for RF applications. The unit requires an operating supply voltage of 12 VDC and draws a current of 150 mA during operation. This component serves as a dedicated frequency reference or clock source in systems requiring high spectral purity and stability at the specified microwave frequency.

Feature Summary

• Generates a fixed 500 MHz output signal using phase-locked loop technology
• Operates with a standard 12 VDC power supply input
• Designed for integration into RF test and measurement equipment

Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Communication system frequency references
• Signal generation modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for detailed pinout and electrical characteristics before integration. Confirm that the 12 VDC supply meets the 150 mA current requirement to ensure stable oscillation. Check for any environmental specifications regarding temperature range if deployed in non-standard conditions. Ensure mechanical mounting requirements align with the system chassis design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 500 MHz reference is required. Compare performance metrics such as phase noise and jitter against alternative oscillators if strict signal integrity is critical. Consider the physical form factor and interface compatibility with existing circuit boards. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the power consumption profile.
