Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a dual, 14-bit, 500 MSPS analog-to-digital converter from Analog Devices Inc. The AD9684 includes an on-chip buffer and a sample-and-hold circuit designed for low power, small size, and ease of use. The new ADC is specifically designed for sampling wide bandwidth analog signals. It is optimized for wide input bandwidth, a high sampling rate, excellent linearity, and low power in a small package.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability for a 1700 V SiC MOSFET. The C2M1000170J features high blocking voltage with low RDS (on), low parasitic inductance, ultra-low drain gate capacitance, and a separate driver source pin. It is easy to parallel and simple to drive. The new MOSFET offers higher system efficiency, smooth switching waveforms, reduced cooling requirements, and increased system reliability.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAP-011140-DIE is a 4-stage, 6 W power amplifier in bare die form that is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT device process featuring full passivation for enhanced reliability. The power amplifier operates from 27.5 to 30.0 GHz and provides 24 dB of linear gain, 6 W saturated output power, and 23% power added efficiency.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new dual differential, single pole double throw RF switch. The PE42920 DDSPDT RF switch is a broadband (10 kHz to 6 GHz) and low loss device that enables the switching of two independent differential signals. This device consumes less power than active differential switches. It has high isolation between same-channel inputs, as well as opposite active channels.
The TAT7472A1F is a 75 Ω RF amplifier designed for CATV use but capable of operation up to 1218 MHz, making it suitable for DOCSIS 3.1. It contains two separate amplifiers for push-pull applications and is fabricated using 6-inch GaAs pHEMT technology. Each amplifier contains on-chip active biasing, with bias current set points that are adjustable with a single resistor from the input to ground. Typical supply voltage for the TAT7472A1F is +5 V.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new GaN power amplifier from TriQuint / Qorvo.
