Specially engineered to provide quick integration into PLLs, the SMV1679A surface-mount, low-profile voltage controlled oscillator is designed for use in wireless locating applications. The device generates frequencies between 1678 MHz to 1680 MHz
Specially engineered to provide quick integration into PLLs, the SMV1679A surface-mount, low-profile voltage controlled oscillator is designed for use in wireless locating applications. The device generates frequencies between 1678 MHz to 1680 MHz within a controlled voltage range of 0 to 3 Vdc, allowing the error voltage to be taken directly from the IC's charge pump circuitry. The chip, which measures only 0.3" x 0.3" x 0.08", conserves energy by drawing only 6 mA of current from a 2.7 Vdc supply. It exhibits spectral purity of -87 dBc/Hz, typical, at 10 kHz from the carrier. The device is suited for automated SMT assembly and reflow. Pricing is $15.95 each.
