Z-Communications' Extremely Low Powered Clock VCO in a SUB-L Package - RF Cafe

Broomfield, Colorado - May 5, 2020 - Z−Communications, Inc., announces the RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) model SMV4596L−LF for highly stable clock generators. The SMV4596L−LF covers 4595 to 4598 MHz within a tuning voltage range of 0 to 2.5 Vdc. This low cost VCO consumes typically less than 15mW of power while still delivering phase noise performance of -81 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset. This unparalleled VCO operates off a 2.8 Vdc supply while drawing a mere 5mA of current.

The SMV4596L-LF is designed to deliver −1±2 dBm of output power into a 50 ohm load while operating over the industrial temperature range of −40 to 85°C. This remarkable VCO is further enhanced by its better than 1.1:1 linearity making it easier for PLL designers to integrate into their system due to its consistent behavior. The SMV4596L-LF features a typical 2nd harmonic suppression of −25 dBc and comes in Z−COMM's industry standard SUB-L package measuring 0.3 in. x 0.3 in. x 0.08 in. It is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements. The SMV4596L-LF is also ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow.

In addition to high precision clocks, the SMV4596L−LF is also well suited for mobile test equipment applications where low power consumption and small size is a must. Additional specifications for this product can be found online at: www.zcomm.com
