MAVC-010000-000045
VCO, SMT
42.5—47.5 MHz
Rev. VC
Features
• High Performance, Low Cost
• Low Phase Noise
• Miniature SMT Package (LSM1)
• RoHS Compliant
Description
This VCO, in a SMT package, provides electrical shielding, easy
PCB assembly and repeatable performance. The oscillator is
designed for use in wireless base stations and other applica-
tions.
M/A-COM VCOs are manufactured in an ISO9001 certified facil-
ity, incorporating surface mount assembly and automated elec-
trical testing. This ensures consistent electrical performance
and quality over volume production quantities.
Pin Configuration
Devices are designed to function after exposure to the shock,
vibration, thermal shock and moisture conditions typically en-
countered in base station and other infrastructure environments.
Pin No.
