Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix against official MACOM documentation to ensure correct tape-and-reel quantity and packaging specifications. Confirm that the operating voltage range and frequency parameters align with system requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure access to the most current electrical characteristics and handling instructions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range and low phase noise are critical for the application. The InGaP HBT technology offers robust performance across varying temperature conditions. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 1 V to 13 V supply range and provides adequate thermal management for the 9 dBm output power level within the target enclosure.

Part Context

This VCO belongs to MACOM's portfolio of microwave semiconductor products designed for telecommunications, industrial, and defense sectors. It complements other models in the series by providing specific frequency coverage. The device integrates control circuitry to simplify integration into larger RF subsystems without additional discrete components.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official MACOM substitution guides for verified alternatives. Direct replacements must match the 9.3 GHz center frequency and compatible supply voltage ranges. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal requirements before substituting with similar VCO models from the same manufacturer.
