The ZRO2460B1LF utilizes voltage bias and temperature stabilization to further enhance the VCO’s performance. This rugged oscillator is designed to deliver a typical output power of 6 dBm into a 50 load while drawing only 30 mA, typically, from a 8Vdc supply.
The ZRO2460B1LF operates over the industrial temperature range of -40 to 85ºC and attenuates the second harmonic to better than -15dBc. This low cost device is also heightened by its extremely low pushing and pulling specification. ZRO2460B1LF pushes less than 0.7 MHz/V within a 5% change of the supply voltage and pulls less than 0.7 MHz with a 14 dB return loss, any phase.
This ZRO2460B1LF comes in Z-Communications’ industry standard MINI-16-SM surface mount package measuring 0.50 in. x 0.50 in. x 0.22 in. This exceptional VCO is ideal for automated surface mount assembly and reflow; it is available in tape and reel packaging for production requirements.
