Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new UltraCMOS switch from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE42524 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced reflective wideband SPDT RF switch die that operates from 10 MHz to 40 GHz and delivers high isolation performance, excellent linearity and low insertion loss. At 30 GHz, the PE42524 exhibits 17 dB active port return loss, 47 dB isolation and 2.2 dB insertion loss.
Delivering phase stability of < 1.5° and insertion loss of < 0.9 dB per foot at 40 GHz while wrapped around a 2” mandrel, High Speed Interconnects’ custom, flexible cable assemblies are ready for a variety of RF/microwave applications. HSI's coaxial cable extrusion capabilities range from 16 to 52 AWG and can be terminated to a wide range of high performance connectors such as SMAs, SMPs, SSMAs, MMCXs, or other finer pitch terminations.
Pasternack Enterprises Inc. released an engineering resource called the Cable Assembly Designer. Pasternack’s custom cable designer enables engineers and buyers to create customized RF cable assemblies that meet their specifications from any combination of compatible connectors and cables offered by the company. Pasternack stocks and builds the industry’s most comprehensive selection of RF cable assemblies, with over 250,000 possible combinations.

Linear Technology announces the LTC6268-10 single and dual LTC6269-10 4 GHz FET-input op amps for high dynamic range and high speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) applications. The LTC6268-10 data sheet features example circuits ranging from 20 kΩ transimpedance gain at 210 MHz bandwidth, to 402 kΩ transimpedance gain at 34 MHz bandwidth. The LTC6268-10 is available in a 6-lead SOT-23 package, as well as an 8-lead SOIC with guard pins to protect against board leakage currents.
Linear Technology announces the LTC6268-10 single and dual LTC6269-10 4GHz FET-input op amps for high dynamic range and high speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) applications.With 0.45pF input capacitance and 1000 V/µs slew rate, the LTC6268-10 and LTC6269-10 are well suited for photodiode and photomultiplier (PMT) circuits, high impedance sensor applications and for driving analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new discrete GaN on SiC HEMT from TriQuint / Qorvo. The 10 W (P3dB), 50 Ω input-matched TGF3015-SM operates from 0.03 to 3 GHz. The integrated input-matching network enables wideband gain and power performance, while the output can be matched on board to optimize power and efficiency for any region within the band. The device is housed in an industry-standard 3 mm x 3 mm package.
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT8616, a 42 V input capable, high efficiency dual synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator. Its dual channel design delivers independent 2.5 A and 1.5 A continuous current to outputs as low as 0.8 V. A dual channel synchronous rectification topology delivers up to 95% efficiency while Burst Mode® operation keeps quiescent current under 6.5 µA (both channels enabled) in no-load standby conditions.
