GigOptix Inc. introduced its linear quad-channel modulator driver, the GX62476, for low-power coherent metro applications. The GX62476 extends GigOptix’s telecom driver market leadership position into metro applications with a quad-channel, 32 Gbps solution offering the lowest power dissipation of less than 1.1 W/channel at a 5 VPP swing using 5 V supply voltage and 0.75 W/channel at a 3 VPP swing using a 3.3 V supply voltage.
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LTC3371, a highly integrated general-purpose power management solution for systems requiring multiple low voltage power supplies. The device features four synchronous buck converters, each powered from independent 2.25 to 5.5 V inputs, and each configurable to share up to four of eight available 1 A power stages.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the SMV1275-079LF hyperabrupt junction varactor diode from Skyworks Inc. specifically designed for battery operation. The specified high capacitance ratio and low series resistance make the SMV1275-079LF appropriate for low phase noise voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) used at frequencies in wireless systems up to and above 2.5 GHz.
Anaren Inc.’s Wireless Group announced the release of its first AIR for WICED™ smart bluetooth module and atmosphere on-line developer platform as part of a strategic engagement with Broadcom Corp. This relationship allows both companies to support designers, innovators, and end-equipment manufacturers. Among the specific features are the modules’ small size, low cost, and pre-certification to global standards and comprehensive technical support.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two new L-band 90 W GaN modules from M/A-COM Technology Solutions.
