VCO Line Adds 5-GHz Crystal

Expanding the company's line of voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) is a 5 GHz crystal in a standard 0.5" x 0.5" surface-mount package. The CVCO55BH-5256-5356 VCO generates a frequency range of 5.256 to 5.356 GHz with a tuning voltage range of 1 to 4 Vdc. Typical phase-noise performance is specified as -86 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset frequency. Other features include an output power of 0 dBm ±2 dBm into a 50? load with a supply voltage of 5 Vdc and a typical current consumption of 25 mA. Pushing and pulling are minimized to 5 MHz/V and 4 MHz, respectively, and second-harmonic suppression is -10 dBc typical. Pricing starts at $14.80 each in volume.
