MSPD2018-E50SM

Overview

The MSPD2018-E50SM is a sampling phase detector module manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 100MHz to 22GHz and utilizes an E50SM connector interface. This fully integrated component is designed for high-frequency phase locking applications, supporting the stabilization of Dielectric Resonator Oscillators (DROs) and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs). The unit is supplied as a solder dipped product, distinguishing it from non-solder dipped variants in the series.

Feature Summary

• Capable of phase locking up to 22 GHz
• Designed to lock Dielectric Resonator Oscillators and Voltage Controlled Oscillators
• Fully integrated sampling phase detector module

Applications

• Phase locking of DROs and VCOs
• High-frequency signal processing modules
• RF and microwave instrumentation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as the MSPD2018-E50SM indicates a solder dipped configuration, whereas the MSPD2018-E50SM-NS variant is explicitly not solder dipped. Confirm that the E50SM connector type matches the system requirements. Ensure the active status of the component aligns with long-term supply needs, as availability may vary across different manufacturing years.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise phase detection within the 100MHz to 22GHz spectrum. The choice between solder dipped and non-solder dipped versions depends on the assembly process and thermal management strategy. Consider the E50SM interface compatibility with existing test equipment or circuit boards. Evaluate the need for a fully integrated module versus discrete components to simplify design complexity.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's Sampling Phase Detector Modules family, which provides solutions for stabilizing oscillators in RF systems. The series includes variants with different connector types and soldering configurations, such as the H50 connector models. These modules are engineered for reliability in demanding telecommunications and industrial environments where stable frequency generation is critical.

Replacement Considerations

The MSPD2018-E50SM-NS serves as a direct functional alternative if a non-solder dipped version is required. Other series members like the MSPD2018-H50 offer similar phase locking capabilities but utilize an H50 connector interface, necessitating adapter considerations. Verify connector compatibility and soldering requirements before substituting.
