Pickering Interfaces announced the launch of a high-density 2 amp PXI relay module. 2 amp PXI relay module (model 40-100) – configured with 83 SPDT relays, this relay module was originally designed for applications in aerospace and defense requiring a higher density 2 amp alternative to Pickering’s current 52 SPDT Module (model 40-139).
Exodus introduces the ultra-wide band AMP1074 compact SSPA coveringthe full 2 to 20 GHz frequency band at 10 W Min. The AMP1074 uses C&W hybrid GaN devices, and operates from a 32 VDC supply at 4.5 A with gain flatness of 5.0dB Max peak to peak. Covering multi-bands, this SSPA is suitable for use with all modulation standards and features a small form factor, lightweight construction and high reliability.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support forAmpleon’s BLM8G0710S-30PBG, a dual section, 2-stage power MMIC targeted as a general purpose driver or final stage amplifier in white space or ISM applications in the 700 to 1000 MHz frequency range. The BLM8G0710S-30PBG offers >51% typical drain efficiency and offers on-chip matching for ease of use. Ampleon designers integrate internal ESD protection for enhanced reliability.
Exodus Advanced Communications introduces AMP1124 which provides a typical output power of 100 W P1dB and 200 W Psat across 0.7-4.2 GHz frequency band. Using the latest in state of the art GaN devices, gain flatness is 4.0 dB peak to peak and requires 32 V at 40 A Max. Suitable for use with all modulations standards requiring high power and wide band coverage.
Skyworks Solutions Inc. unveiled SkyLiTE™ 2.0, its next generation front-end solution powering LTE devices. This highly integrated platform provides smartphone manufacturers with a complete front-end system that meets today’s carrier aggregation (CA) design challenges. The devices are baseband agnostic and incorporate amplification, switching, Wi-Fi filtering, and coupler functionality required to support all major FDD/TDD bands.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE4152, a high linearity RF mixer from Peregrine Semiconductor. Designed for land mobile radio (LMR) and cellular infrastructure up to 1 GHz, the PE4152 offers two operating modes: LO enable and LO bypass. LO enable provides 25 dBm IIP3 with 52 dBm IIP2. LO bypass provides 24 dBm IIP3 with 46 dBm IIP2. Both modes provide low conversion loss of 6.5dB.
Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC7813, a dual output (boost + buck), low quiescent current synchronous DC/DC controller. The LTC7813 operates from an input voltage of 4.5 to 60 V during start-up and maintains operation down to a 2.2 V input after start-up. The boost converter can produce an output voltage up to 60 V and the buck converter produces an output voltage ranging from 0.8 to 60V with the entire system achieving an efficiency as high as 98%.
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. announced the MAOP-L284CN, a silicon photonic integrated circuit integrated with lasers (L-PIC™) for a 100 G transmit solution for CWDM4 and CLR4 applications. MAOP-L284CN features four high bandwidth Mach-Zehnder modulators integrated with four lasers (1270, 1290, 1310, and 1330 nm) and a CWDM multiplexer, with each channel operating at up to 28 Gb/s.
