VCO Operates Across 1.6 To 3.2 GHz Range

The CVCO55CW-1600-3200 voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) operates from 1.6 GHz to 3.2 GHz via a control voltage range from 0.5V to 20V and the component specifies a typical phase noise of -93 dBc/Hz at a 10-kHz offset. Fitting within an industry-standard 0.5" x 0.5" SMD package, input voltage is 5V with a maximum current consumption of 25 mA. Pulling and pushing stay at 8 MHz and 4 MHz/V, respectively, and second harmonic suppression is -15 dBc typical. Pricing for the CVCO55CW-1600-3200 starts at $10.39 each in volume.
