The ADF4355-2 allows implementation of fractional-N or integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference frequency. ADF4355-2 has an integrated VCO with a fundamental output frequency ranging from 3400 MHz to 6800 MHz. The VCO frequency is connected to divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 circuits.

Pasternack announces the release of their new 5 Bit, 8 Bit and 10 Bit broadband PIN diode digital step attenuators with performance up to 40 GHz depending on the configuration. The digital step attenuators come in 30 dB and 60 dB values and have attenuation step resolution of 0.25 dB to 1 dB depending on the model.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for three new 1200 V, 80 mΩ SiC MOSFETs from Microsemi Corporation. The new MOSFETs are built on SiC MOSFET technology, which features best-in-class RDS(on) vs. temperature, ultra-low gate resistance for minimizing switching energy loss, superior maximum switching frequency, and outstanding ruggedness.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGA2620-SM, TriQuint’s 16 to 18 GHz driver amplifier delivering 19 dBm Psat for commercial and military radar and 18 dBm P1dB for communication systems. Small signal gain is up to 20 dB. The TGA2620-SM draws only 30 mA from a 6 V bias supply.
Crane Aerospace & Electronics introduces its Interpoint MFK Series™ 25 W DC-DC converter. The MFK Series packs up to 25 W in a 0.6 cubic inch case with up to 87% efficiency. It accepts a wide input range of 16 to 50 volts and provides single and dual outputs ranging from 1.8 to 28 volts. Magnetic feedback and operation over -55°C to +125°C ensures reliable performance.
Rohde & Schwarz has been continuously enhancing its R&S IQR100 digital I/Q data recorder. A new firmware update now provides users with a data rate of nearly 100 Msample/s instead of the original 66 Msample/s. The R&S IQR100 digital I/Q data recorder from Rohde & Schwarz can now record, store and play I/Q signals with bandwidths up to 79.6 MHz -- loss-free in realtime.
Crane Aerospace & Electronics introduces its Interpoint® MFX Series™ 50 W DC-DC converter. The newly designed MFX Series provides up to 50 W in a 0.92 cubic inch case with efficiency over 90%. The input voltage of 16 to 50 volts can also withstand transients of 80 volts for one second, has ±10% trimmable 3.3 and 5 volt outputs and operates at -55°C to +125°C.
Analog Devices Inc. introduced the industry’s first sigma-delta converter with a fully integrated true rail-to-rail input buffer providing system designers with the industry’s leading noise performance at up to 250 kSPS throughput. The AD7175-2 A/D sigma-delta converter delivers 24 noise-free bits at 20 SPS and 17.2 noise-free bits at 250 kSPS providing designers a wider dynamic range
The ADF5355 allows implementation of fractional-N or integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference frequency. The wideband microwave VCO design permits frequency operation from 6.8 to 13.6 GHz at one radio frequency (RF) output. Control of all on-chip registers is through a simple 3-wire interface.
