Overview
The RQRA-2328-2536-CR is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Raltron Electronics. It operates within a frequency range of 2328 MHz to 2536 MHz. The device utilizes a Surface Mount Device (SMD) package with dimensions of 0.5 x 0.5 inches, specifically identified as a 16-QFN configuration. It supports a supply voltage of 5V and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Feature Summary
- Provides tunable microwave frequency generation within the specified VCO band
- Designed for surface mount integration in compact electronic assemblies
- Operates under standard 5V supply conditions
Applications
- Hobby radar design systems
- Microwave communication modules
- Signal generation circuits requiring stable VCO performance
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing this component, as manufacturer specifications may undergo revisions. Confirm that the 16-QFN footprint matches your PCB layout requirements precisely. Ensure that the thermal management strategy accommodates the -40°C to +85°C operational range for your intended environment. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability of the Raltron Electronics product.
Selection Notes
Select this component when a fixed-frequency oscillator is insufficient and voltage-tunable output between 2328 MHz and 2536 MHz is required. The 16-QFN SMD package suits applications demanding small form factors. Consider the 5V supply constraint and wide temperature tolerance when designing power delivery networks and thermal solutions for harsh environments.
Part Context
This VCO belongs to the Raltron RQRA series, which includes other models such as the RQRA-2620-2710-CR covering different frequency bands. These components are engineered for consistent microwave performance using standardized surface-mount technologies. The series provides designers with scalable options for varying frequency requirements while maintaining similar physical footprints and electrical interface characteristics.
Replacement Considerations
The RQRA-2620-2710-CR serves as a functional substitute within the same family but operates in the 2620 MHz to 2710 MHz range. Verify that the frequency shift aligns with system requirements before substitution. Other generic VCOs may require significant circuit redesign due to differences in pinout, supply voltage, or tuning linearity.
