Hermetically Sealed TO-8 VCO for Harsh, Demanding Environments
(MUNICH, (Electronica 2010) Crystek Corporation has introduced a new series of TO-8 VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators) to provide high-performance frequency control in harsh, demanding environments. Crystek's CVCOT8BE line features a full-functioning VCO in a rugged, hermetically sealed TO-8 package to protect the VCO from moisture, contaminants and other environmental elements. The metal-can construction features gold plated pins with no internal wire bonds for enhanced signal integrity.
Two models are currently available: the CVCOT8BE-2100 to 2200 (2100 to 2200 MHz) and CVCOT8BE-2400 to 2500 (2400 to 2500 MHz); additional models can be configured from 1 GHz to 5 GHz in bands. These VCOs feature a typical phase noise of -101 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset and excellent linearity. Tuning sensitivity is rated at 55 MHz/V. Pulling and Pushing are minimized to 11.0 MHz and 1.0 MHz/V, respectively; second harmonic suppression is -15 dBc typical.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the CVCOT8BE VCOs feature a control voltage range of 0.5V~4.5V with an input voltage of 8 V. Maximum current consumption is 25 mA and output power is 0 dBm. Crystek’s TO-8 VCO line has an operating temperature range of -40° to +85°C.
Crystek will be featuring the TO-8 VCOs at electronica in Munich, Germany, Nov. 9-12, Hall B6, Booth 360.
