The European Space Agency (ESA) has added these circuits to its EPPL list confirming their reliability and suitability for space applications.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has added these circuits to its EPPL list confirming their reliability and suitability for space applications.
The CHV1203-98F and CHV1206-98F are 2 fully integrated VCOs including negative resistor, varactors and buffer amplifiers.
They exhibit high frequency stability and have been designed with space de-rating.
Although designed for space, they are suitable for a wide range of applications including commercial communication systems.
These circuits are manufactured using a 2µm InGaP HBT process.
