TGV2561-SM
8.9 - 9.8 GHz VCO with Divide by 2
Applications
 Point to Point Radio / VSAT
 Millimeter-wave Communications
 Test Equipment
32-pin 5x5mm package
General Description
The TriQuint TGV2561-SM is a monolithic voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO) designed to operate at
frequencies that target the Point to Point, VSAT, and
millimeter-wave communication markets.
The TGV2561-SM is manufactured on TriQuint’s
GaAs InGaP production process and typically
provides 16 dBm output power at 9 GHz with a
-114dBc/Hz phase noise at 100 KHz offset. A divideby-2 output is provided for the PLL function.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.

Mechanical Information
Package Marking and Dimensions
All dimensions are in millimeters.
This package is lead-free/RoHS-compliant. The package base is copper alloy and the plating material on the leads
is 100% matte Sn. It is compatible with both lead-free (maximum 260 °C reflow temperature) and tin-lead (maximum
245 °C reflow temperature) soldering processes.
The TGV2561-SM will be marked with the “TGV2561SM” designator and date code is marked below the part
designator. The first two digits represent the last two digits of the year the part was manufactured, and the next two
digits represent the work week.
