The FE55-0005 is ideally suited for use as a stand-alone
signal source or as part of a PLL signal source for applications in L-Band. The FE55-0005 includes active transistor
biasing to minimize effects of supply variation on frequency and power output.
N/C
M/A-COM's FE55-0005 is a MMIC based voltage controlled oscillator available as FQFP-16 4 mm surface mount
package for easy assembly on standard pick and place SMT
production lines. The FE55-0005 is designed to operate
from a regulated 3 volt supply, and has been designed and
tested from 2.7 to 3.3 volts.

For optimum performance, VCC bypass capacitors should
be placed as close to the VCC lead as possible.
For optimum performance, the VTUNE inductor should be
placed as close to the VTUNE lead as possible.
