Agilent VTO-0995-SMA, VTO-1070-SMA Voltage Controlled Oscillator Data Sheet Features • Operating frequency: 9.95328 GHz or 10.754 GHz • Output power (50Ω load): 2 dBm minimum Description The VTO-0995-SMA/ VTO-1070-SMA provides a fundamental, low jitter source as a key component for the data re-timing in the transmitter subsystem and clock and data recovery in the receiver of the 10 Gb fiber optic systems. Functional Block Diagram • Modulation sensitivity: 5 to 10 MHz/V • Tuning voltage: 0 to 10 Volts Amp Output • Low jitter (Less than 50 femto seconds from 50 KHz to 80 MHz) • Frequency drift over 0°C to +75°C: 20 MHz • 1.180" x 0.950" x 0.400" The oscillator uses an extremely high performance low noise Agilent Silicon Bipolar transistor in conjunction with a hyperabrupt varactor diode to provide the tuning capability. The oscillator output is then coupled through a filter to the output. Applications • Transmitter and receiver subsystems for OC-192/STM-64 applications • 10 GHz source VTO-0995-SMA, VTO-1070-SMA Absolute Maximum Ratings [1] Parameter Units Ratings Positive Supply Voltage V 0 to +10 Tuning Voltage V 0 to +12 Operating Temperature °C -10 to +95 Storage Temperature °C -40 to +130 Note: 1. Operation of this device in excess of any of these limits may cause permanent damage.
