Richardson RFPD, Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for two new RF single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (Peregrine). The PE42520 and PE42521 are pin-compatible upgraded versions of the PE42552, with higher power handling, fast settling time and switching time, and high isolation. Both devices are offered in 3 x 3 mm QFN packages.
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LTM4676, a dual 13A or single 26A µModule® (micromodule) step-down DC/DC regulator with a serial digital interface. The interface enables system designers and remote operators to command and supervise a system’s power condition and consumption. The LTM4676 simplifies system characterization, optimization and data mining during prototyping, deployment and field operation.
Linear Technology Corp., introduces the LTM4630, a dual 18 A per output or single 36 A output DC/DC µModule® step-down regulator capable of delivering up to 144 A when four devices are current shared. The LTM4630 is a complete DC/DC regulator system in a 16 mm x 16 mm x 4.41 mm LGA package, which includes inductors, MOSFETs, DC/DC controller and compensation circuitry.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for TriQuint Semiconductor’s 2.5 W amplifier module for small cell applications. The TGA2450-SM provides 3 gain stages offering overall gain of 35 dB. The final stage integrates a Doherty design allowing peak power up to 18 W.
