True Sine Wave VCXO Generates High Frequencies

The CVSS-940, a true sine wave voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO), generates frequencies between 77.76 MHz and 500 MHz at a minimum output level of 0 dBm into a 50O load. The component exhibits harmonics lower than -20 dBc and specifies a -150 dBc/Hz noise floor and a minimum ±50 ppm APR pullability. Other specs include a typical power consumption of 25 mA and a maximum of 30 mA at 3.3V. Available in a surface-mount package measuring 9 mm x 14 mm, price is $24 each in volume.
