Tiny New VCO from Crystek Packs Big Performance
Fort Myers, FL, October 2004 - Crystek Crystals Corporation has released its smallest VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) package yet. The tiny CVCO25 oscillator family measures only 0.25 x 0.25 x 0.079 in. (6.35 x 6.35 x 2.0 mm) and provides excellent electrical performance. It generates frequencies from 100MHz to 1GHz in bands, with higher frequency capability presently in development at Crystek.
"Crystek's engineers were challenged with the task to develop a miniature VCO that would provide performance comparable to our much larger packages. It is our in-house EIA 0201 SMD placement equipment that enables us to build a cost effective solution that will satisfy our customers requirements for smaller VCOs," said Anthony Mastropole the President and CEO of Crystek Corporation.
Applications include digital radio equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite communications systems, base stations, personal communications systems, portable radios and test instruments.
The Model CVCO25 provides reliable performance in an operating temperature range suited to industrial environments: -40°C to +85°C. The CVCO25 family offers a variety of power supply voltages, including +3.0V, +3.3V and +5V. Typical phase noise performance at 1GHz is -105dBc/Hz at 10KHz offset.
The CVCO25 was also designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate customization requirements in applications where board space is at a premium.
Pricing for the Model CVCO25 is $11.25 in 1K volumes. For additional pricing details, contact Crystek Crystals Corp. Mouser Electronics is the catalog stocking franchised distributor for Crystek VCOs.
