Cardinal's new digitally tuned VCXO (CDVP) offers higher available frequencies (1MHz to 200MHz), greatly reduced sample and production lead-times, and a device that can aid in system tolerancing.

The new digitally tuned CDVP series is available in a 9.6mm X 11.4mm surface mount package and operates from a 3.3 volt power supply. Available with factory programmed center frequencies from 1MHz to 200MHz, it can be tuned over a -70ppmto +120ppm range. The CDVP maintains a ±50ppm stability over an operating temperature of –40 °C to +85 °C. Frequency tuning changes are accomplished via a single write over the devices I2C interface. The CDVP allows the user to implement PLL systems 100% digitally eliminating need for analog and interface circuitry.
