Description

The PE1V14000 is a High Reliability Low Noise Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) which covers a 510 MHz to 550 MHz

frequency band with a voltage tuning range from 0.0V to 3.5V. This design features exceptional phase noise performance of

-106 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset. Supply Voltage is +15V with a generated output power level of +6.5 dBm and 2nd harmonic

output of -22 dBc typical. The VCO has a buffer amplifier for increased design flexibility. The assembly is RoHs compliant

and available in a compact 0.5 inch SMT package with an industry standard mounting footprint. The bottom surface is copper

clad with 2-5 micro inches of immersion Gold over 150 - 250 micro inches of Electro less Nickel which makes it resistant to

oxidation for ease of soldering. The VCO operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is designed to meet a

variety of MIL-STD-202 test conditions including Humidity, Shock, and Vibration.
