Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free status and pinout configuration. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact electrical specifications required for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm the validity of the provided performance parameters before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range between 1600 MHz and 3200 MHz is required in a surface mount form factor. Consider the +8 dBm output power and 50-ohm impedance match for direct interface requirements. Evaluate the phase noise specification relative to system sensitivity needs. Confirm that the 5V supply voltage aligns with the available power rails in the design.
