Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer specifications before procurement, as component parameters may vary between production batches or document revisions. Confirm that the surface mount package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that the operating voltage range and thermal management capabilities meet your system design constraints. Cross-reference the part number with official Pasternack documentation to confirm current availability and compliance status prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise, surface-mount VCO is required for frequencies between 30 MHz and 60 MHz. Consider the -119 dBc/Hz phase noise specification for applications demanding high spectral purity. Evaluate the 0.5-inch package size against available board space. Ensure the 0 V to 15 V tuning voltage range is compatible with your control circuitry. Compare output power levels with downstream amplifier or mixer requirements to ensure proper signal integrity throughout the chain.
