Description
The MLO81100-01960 is a fundamental single ended oscillator
designed for use in cost sensitive wireless and telemetry applica-
tions. The device has been optimized by careful selection of the
bipolar transistor and varactor diode for low phase noise and high
linearity tuning characteristics.
The low profile surface mount package used provides for
electrical shielding, ease of assembly and repeatable perfor-
mance. M/A-COM’s surface mount manufacturing tech-
niques together with automatic assembly and electrical
testing ensure a high degree of electrical and mechanical
repeatability at low cost and in high volume. Manufacturing
is carried out in an ISO 9000 qualified facility.

1. All specifications apply with a 50 ohm load impedance.
2. Tuning voltages shown are the minimum and maximum voltages
required to tune the frequency range including temperature effects -
20°C to +70°C. Devices will oscillate normally with tuning voltages
from 0V to +10V.
3. Output power window includes unit to unit variation, temperature
effects -20°C to +70°C and frequency flatness (typically 0.5 dB at
any constant temperature).
