Description
The MAOC-113900 is a voltage controlled oscillator
for frequency generation. No external matching
components are required. This VCO is easily
integrated into a phase lock loop using the
divide-by-two output. The extremely low phase
noise makes this part ideal for many radio
applications including high capacity digital radios.
The MAOC-113900 primary applications are
Point-to-Point Radio, Point-to-Multipoint Radio,
Communications Systems, and Low Phase Noise
applications.
The 5 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.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTBF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 42° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C, TJ = 44°C @ 5 V, 90 mA
b) For TC = 85°C, TJ = 104°C @ 5 V, 91 mA
Handling Procedures
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
1B devices.
