PE2V003

Overview

The PE2V003 is a surface mount voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 1000 MHz, with a center frequency of 750 MHz. The device exhibits a phase noise performance of -97 dBc/Hz and requires a supply voltage of 10 V. It is housed in a compact 0.175-inch package designed for SMT integration.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount technology construction for automated assembly
• Voltage controlled operation across a defined microwave frequency band
• Optimized phase noise characteristics for signal purity

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Signal generation modules
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement as this component may be discontinued or obsolete. Confirm that the 10 V supply requirement aligns with system power constraints. Ensure the surface mount footprint matches the PCB layout design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range from 500 MHz to 1000 MHz is required in a small form factor. Consider the -97 dBc/Hz phase noise specification for applications sensitive to spectral purity. Verify compatibility with standard surface mount reflow processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack Voltage Controlled Oscillator family. It provides a fixed center frequency solution with voltage-tunable output. The device serves as a core frequency source for RF circuits requiring stable oscillation in the UHF and lower microwave bands.
