Vectron's VT–704 Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) 0.5ppm 5 to 52MHz, Clipped sine wave or CMOS output, analog temperature compensated oscillator in an industry standard four pin 7.0 x 5.0 mm package. Tight stability in the 7050 package continues to be a requirement for both legacy systems for backwards compatibility but also in newer designs where footprint compatibility with other oscillators remains a requirement.
The MD−223 OCXO is offered in a 22 x 25 mm footprint and capable of unprecedented stability for an oscillator of this cost, size and power consumption. The I²C interface provides customers control of the oscillator with digital tuning for further correction and stability improvement during holdover. This product is ideal for base stations, test and measurement and synthesizer applications, where performance can be improved with an existing package footprint.
The MD–261 module has an embedded 34 channel receiver that is both GPS and GLONASS compatible. and provides an LVCMOS 10 MHz and 1 pps output. An onboard OCXO or High Precision TCXO is available dependent on performance requirements. The module operates from −40°C to +85°C, and is capable of providing a holdover of 1.5 µs over 2 hours over a ±2°C temperature window.
Vectron International offers a complete line of Military QPL Clock Oscillators over the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The MIL–PRF–55310 oscillators are offered in hermetically sealed metal and ceramic packages and are qualified as Type 1 Class 2 Oscillators, using microelectronic (hybrid) technology. The product is B level screened for use in high reliability applications.
Skyworks introduces a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch that is qualified to the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) Q100 standard. The SKYA2001 features low insertion loss (0.4 dB at 2.4 GHz) and positive voltage operation with very low DC power consumption (10 µA). Its AEC-Q100 qualification supports extended production life requirements. The device is manufactured in an ultraminiature 2.00 x 1.25 mm, 6-pin SC-70 package.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE42822 high power SPDT RF switch operating from 700 MHz to 3.8 GHz utilizing UltraCMOS® SOI technology. With 65 dBm of IIP3 linearity and 120 dBm IIP2, the PE42822 is ideal for LTE receiver applications in microcells and picocells. This Peregrine switch boasts a 3 kV HBM ESD performance and supports extended temperature operation up to 105 degrees C.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for API Technologies phase shifters designed for applications in optical communication systems. The precision adjustments on the OPS-0002 phase shifter allow enhanced resolution and accuracy setting. The API OPS-0002 is offered with precision 2.4 mm female connectors and operates up to 50 GHz. The micrometer adjustment allows for 28 turns. Each turn provides a minimum of 4 pico-seconds time delay.
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.
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT3095, a dual-channel IC delivering two very low noise, low ripple bias supplies from a single input. Each channel incorporates a monolithic step-up DC/DC converter post-regulated by an integrated ultralow noise and high PSRR linear regulator. The LT3095 delivers up to 50 mA of continuous output current at output voltages up to 20 V with total ripple and noise < 100 µVP-P. The device operates from a 3 to 20 V input voltage range.
