CLV1075A-LF VCO
Z-Communications has launched the CLV1075A-LF, an RoHS-compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) in L-band that is suited to satellite communication and digital radio applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance.
The CLV1075A-LF is designed to deliver a typical output power of 4dBm at a 5V DC supply while drawing 26mA (typical) over a temperature range of -40ºC to 85ºC.
It is available in tape-and-reel packaging for production requirements and is also suitable for automated surface-mount assembly and reflow.
