PE19XP5013

Overview

The Pasternack PE19XP5013 is a surface-mount phase-locked oscillator designed for general-purpose RF applications. It operates at a center frequency of 6 GHz and utilizes a 100 MHz external reference input to maintain signal stability. The device features a typical phase noise performance of -90 dBc/Hz, ensuring low jitter for sensitive communication systems. It requires a single 5V supply voltage and is housed in a compact 28-SMD no-lead package with a footprint dimension of approximately 0.9 inches.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a phase-locked loop architecture for precise frequency synthesis
• Supports external reference clock input for system synchronization
• Optimized for low phase noise operation in high-frequency bands
• Designed for direct surface-mount integration into PCB layouts

Applications

• Wireless communication base stations
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Satellite communication uplinks and downlinks
• Point-to-point microwave radio links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and tape-and-reel packaging requirements before ordering, as surface-mount components often require specialized handling equipment. Confirm that the 5V supply rail meets the current consumption specifications outlined in the official datasheet to ensure stable oscillator operation under all thermal conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 GHz output with external reference capability is required. Compare phase noise specifications against local oscillator requirements in the target application. Ensure the 28-SMD package dimensions fit within the available board space constraints and verify compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for lead-free assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's specialty oscillator portfolio, which focuses on high-performance RF solutions for demanding wireless environments. Unlike generic crystal oscillators, this phase-locked design offers superior spectral purity and frequency agility through external reference control, making it suitable for professional telecommunications infrastructure rather than consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

No publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Engineers must evaluate alternative vendors based on matching pinout configurations, electrical parameters, and mechanical footprints to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the host circuit board.
