I have a need for a 110 MHz VCXO in a 1.8GHz to 7.5GHz

Distributors. The Si595 VCXO chips are in an
"industry standard" 5mm X 7mm surface-mount package.
These so called "VCXOs" are not VCXO's. They are just
synthesizers that functionally emulate a VCXO. The phase
noise and jitter are poor as compared to a real VCXO,
such as a CTS 357L ($8 at Digikey).
Maybe they will work in your application anyway, just don't
kid yourself about what you are getting.
