Mil-spec VCSOs for mission-critical RF and microwave applications like radar and test offered by Microchip
CHANDLER, Ariz. – Microchip Technology Inc. in Chandler, Ariz., is introducing the 101765 family of voltage-controlled surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillators (VCSOs) for mission-critical applications like radar and test and measurement.
These specialized RF and microwave components with precise frequency control and ultra-low phase noise help enhance signal clarity, stability and overall system performance, and deliver ultra-low phase noise and operate at 320 MHz and 400 MHz.
The 101765-320-A VCSO delivers ultra-low phase noise performance of 166 decibels relative to the carrier (dBc) at 10 kHz offset and a 182 dBc floor. Low phase noise is crucial for improving the lower limit of detection in radar and other sensing applications.
These devices are active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar systems that demand high fidelity in critical phase-locked loop timing applications.
Available in a small form factor, 1 inch-by-1 inch hermetic Kovar package, the VCSOs are designed for applications, and come with supply voltages from 4.75 to 15.75 volts and a supply current of 111 milliamps to provide a power-efficient timing solution.
The 101765 VCSOs are available with MIL-PRF-38534 screening, and are supported by the 101765-320-A-N-S-TB and 101765-400-B-N-S-TB test boards to enable customers to test the parts during the design phase.
