The NC506/12 is a noise module in the NC500 Series, designed for built-in test applications requiring white Gaussian noise. It operates from 200 kHz to 5 GHz with a minimum ENR of 31 dB, output flatness of ±3.0 dB, and a supply current of 10 mA at +12 V. The part is housed in a TO-8 metal can and operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. It requires no external components and is optimized for use with +12 V power. The surface mount variant (NC506SM/12) has a flatness of ±4.0 dB. Output is maintained across voltage and temperature variations.
The NC500 (through-hole) and NC500SM (surface mount) Series noise modules are an economical solution for built-in test requirements. They contain complete bias circuits and require no external components. Some models contain additional gain stages for high power ENR output (51 dB). The surface mount package is suitable for mounting on micro strip. The modules have extremely flat output power versus frequency characteristics that are insensitive to temperature and voltage variations.
