Block Diagram
Octave Tuning Bandwidth
Phase Noise: -95 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz
VTUNE Range: 0 - 23 V
Low Current Consumption: 61 mA
Excellent Temperature Stability
+5 V Bias Supply
Lead-Free 4 mm 24-Lead Package
RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible
The MAOC-409000 is a wideband voltage controlled
oscillator operating in the 6 - 12 GHz range. The
VCO has flat output power and very low phase noise
over its operating conditions. A single +5V bias
voltage is required, and a tuning voltage of 0 - 23 V.
The device is fully matched and no external
matching components are required.
The MAOC-409000 has very low phase noise, stable
output power over temperature and excellent tuning
control, making it ideal for applications such as
communications systems, test and measurement
and wideband defense applications.
Pin Configuration2
The 4 mm package has a lead-free finish that is
RoHS compliant and compatible with a 260ºC reflow
temperature. The package features low lead
inductance and an excellent thermal path.

5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these HBM Class
1C devices.
