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-011027 primary applications are
Point-to-Point Radio, Point-to-Multipoint Radio,
Communications Systems, and Low Phase Noise
applications.
The 5 mm PQFN package has a lead-free finish that
is RoHS compliant and compatible with a 260ºC
reflow temperature. The package also features low
lead inductance and an excellent thermal path.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ +135°C will ensure
MTBF > 2.5 x 10
6
hours.
7. Junction Temperature (T
J
) = T
C
+ Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 35° C/W.
a) For T
C
= 25°C, T
