XR2209CP-F

Overview

The XR2209CP-F is a dual voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by MaxLinear. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4V to 13V and supports frequency outputs from 0.01Hz to 1MHz. The device is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and is designed for industrial temperature ranges spanning 0°C to 70°C. This component functions as a programmable timer and oscillator, providing stable signal generation capabilities for timing applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual voltage-controlled oscillator architecture for flexible signal generation
• Programmable frequency operation ranging from low Hz to 1MHz
• Wide supply voltage compatibility supporting 4V to 13V inputs
• Industrial temperature rating ensuring reliability across operational environments

Applications

• Timing circuits requiring precise frequency control
• Signal generation modules in test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm exact temperature grade and packaging specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compliance with current manufacturing standards. Confirm that the 8-PDIP package matches the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual VCO solution is required within a 4V-13V supply range. Ensure the application demands frequencies up to 1MHz and fits within the 0°C to 70°C operating window. Consider the PDIP package constraints for board layout and thermal management relative to alternative surface-mount options.

Part Context

The XR2209 series represents MaxLinear's legacy line of precision oscillators. The XR2209CP-F specifically denotes the commercial/industrial variant packaged in DIP format. This part belongs to the broader category of programmable timers and oscillators used in analog and mixed-signal circuit designs.

Replacement Considerations

Public records indicate the XR2209CP-F status may be obsolete. Verify availability through authorized distributors or consult MaxLinear for direct substitute recommendations if discontinuation is confirmed.
