Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel quantity configuration. Confirm that the 2 V to 13 V supply requirement aligns with the target system's power architecture. Ensure the 5 mm package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the ISM frequency band compliance with regional regulatory standards for the intended deployment market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-frequency VCO in the 9 GHz range is required for ISM band operations. Consider the 10 dBm output power capability to determine if additional amplification stages are necessary. Evaluate the 2 V to 13 V control voltage range against available bias circuits. Assess the thermal performance requirements given the operating conditions of the target application environment.
