Description

The MAOC-009872 is an InGaP HBT-based voltage

controlled oscillator for frequency generation. No

external matching components are required. This

VCO is easily integrated into a phase lock loop using

the divide-by-two output. The extremely low phase

noise makes this part ideal for many radio

applications including high capacity digital radios.

The

MAOC-009872

primary

applications

are

Point-to-Point

Radio,

Point-to-Multipoint

Radio,

Communications Systems, and Low Phase Noise

applications.

The 5 mm PQFN package has a lead-free finish that

is RoHS compliant and compatible with a 260ºC

reflow temperature. The package also features low

lead inductance and an excellent thermal path.
