Description
The MAOC-009270-PKG003 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 5 mm PQFN package has a lead-free finish
that is RoHS compliant and compatible with a
260ºC reflow temperature. The package also fea-
tures low lead inductance and an excellent ther-
mal path. The MTTF is 1,000,000 hours at a
150ºC junction temperature.

can be damaged by static electricity. Proper
ESD control techniques should be used when
handling these devices.
Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may
cause permanent damage to this device.
