Two ICs for Single-Beam Rx and Tx: AWS-0104 / AWS-0105

PR-Anokiwave_X-Band-Family-products-01Anokiwave has added two devices (AWS-0104 / AWS-0105) to complete its family of X-band AESA core IC solutions for commercial radar and 5G communications markets. Each IC architecture in the family includes an integrated 4-channel beamformer, LNA and PA supporting 4 radiating elements. The ICs feature either a low noise figure or a high input linearity, and they are further divided by dual beam Rx/single beam Tx, or single beam Rx/single beam Tx.

Three Channel LED Flash Driver: SKY81298

WLCSP_16B_1-956x1-906x065AngleSkyworks introduces the SKY81298 triple channel LED flash driver. The SKY81298 is optimized for LED flash applications implementing tri-tone flash LED color compensation, or dual rear LED flash, plus single front LED flash to support “selfie” pictures taken from the front-facing camera. The SKY81298 actively monitors battery/system voltage and reduces flash current automatically to avoid system brownout, allowing the flash to operate over a wider (lower) battery range.
