Crystek has released its Model CVS575S-500, a 500MHz Voltage Controlled SAW (surface acoustic wave) Oscillator, or VCSO. SAW crystal technology provides low-noise and low-jitter performance with true sinewave output.

The lead-free, RoHS-compliant CVS575S-500 is offered in a 5x7.5x2.5mm SMD package. Phase noise is excellent at -135 dBc/Hz @10KHz offset. The oscillator has no sub-harmonic, and the second harmonic is typically -14dBc. The CVS575S-500 operates from -20 to +70°C from a +3.3V power supply.

Applications for the CVS575S-500 VCSO include frequency translation, test and measurement, avionics, point-to-point radios, and multi-point radios.
