About this manual

The VC2 and VC3 VCXO series from Pletronics are leadless surface‑mount devices offering a wide frequency range and configurable options. Standard specifications include a 1.500 MHz‑60.000 MHz frequency range, operating temperature from 0 °C to 70 °C (extendable to –40 °C to +85 °C), and multiple frequency‑stability grades.

The series provides flexible input voltages (5 V ± 5 % or 3.3 V), HCMOS/TTL‑compatible output logic, and optional tri‑state output for the VC3 version. Detailed pin‑out diagrams, recommended land patterns, and test circuits are included for design integration.
