The SFS1520C-LF from Z-Comm is a RoHS compliant fixed frequency phase locked loop that operates at 1520 MHz with an external 10 MHz reference oscillator. It has excellent phase noise performance of -100 dBc/Hz, -110 dBc/Hz, and -133 dBc/Hz at the 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 100 kHz offsets, respectively. The PLO is designed to deliver a nominal output power of +3 dBm while operating off a VCO voltage supply of 5 Vdc and drawing 28 mA and a phase locked loop voltage of 3 Vdc while drawing 10 mA. It has a harmonic suppression of -20 dBc and spurious suppression of -65 dBc. The SFS1520C-LF is available in a PLL-V12C package measuring 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.22 inches and is well suited for satellite communications and test instrumentation requiring operation over the temperature range of -40 to 85°C. The PLO is ideal for automated surface mount assembly and is available in tape and reel packaging.
