About this manual

The Maxim MAX2622/MAX2623/MAX2624 are self‑contained voltage‑controlled oscillators (VCOs) that integrate the oscillator core and a 50 Ω matched output buffer in an 8‑pin µMAX package. Frequency is set by a voltage on the TUNE pin, and the devices operate from a single supply of +2.7 V to +5.5 V with low current consumption.

The datasheet provides electrical specifications, pin descriptions, typical application circuits, layout recommendations, and performance graphs such as tuning curves, phase‑noise plots, and shutdown current versus temperature.
