Metrigraphics, a process development and manufacturing resource for ultra-miniature passive circuits and structures, announces the capability to develop micron-scale flexible circuits for medical sensor applications, including various in-body and fluid sensors.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a new diffused metal oxide semiconductor (DMOS) transistor from STMicroelectronics (ST).

Vishay Precision Group Inc. announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors brand (VFR) has enhanced its VFCP series of Bulk Metal® Z-Foil ultra-high-precision flip chip resistors with an extended resistance range down to 5 Ω. The devices feature ultra-low TCR of ±0.05 ppm/°C nominal (0°C to +60°C) and ±0.2 ppm/°C typical (-55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref.) and load-life stability of ±0.005% at 70°C for 2,000 hours at rated power and ±0.01% at 70°C for 10,000 hours. 

Soitec (Euronext) and SunEdison Inc. announced that they have entered into a patent cross-license agreement relating to silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer products. The agreement provides each company with access to the other’s patent portfolio for SOI technologies and ends all outstanding legal disputes between the companies.

Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT3797, a triple output DC/DC controller designed to drive three independent channels of LEDs. Its fixed frequency, current-mode architecture delivers constant, accurately regulated LED current over a wide range of supply and output voltages.

Hittite Microwave Corp. announced a new Gallium Nitride (GaN) MMIC power amplifier product which offers significant performance, size and durability advantages for communications, test instrumentation and radar systems operating in the 6 to 18 GHz frequency range.

Centellax announced it will offer another level of integration to its highly successful linear modulator driver product line.

X-COM Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Bird Technologies, introduced its Mobile Measurement Vehicle (MMV), a fully-configured mobile platform that provides a diverse array of capabilities ranging from RF signal capture, storage, playback, and analysis, to spectrum monitoring, emitter direction-finding and geo-location, and on-site or mobile testing of commercial and military wireless communications, radar, and electronic warfare systems.

It is always a concern at high millimeter wave band that there is not enough power to drive the mixer, especially full waveguide band. Model FDB-XX-E1 series externally biased, balanced mixers is especially developed for this purpose. The mixers are offered in four waveguide bands to cover frequency spectra from 50 to 140 GHz. These mixers employ high performance GaAs Schottky beamlead diodes and balanced configuration to produce superior performance with a very low LO pumping level.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC4020, an advanced high voltage power manager and multi-chemistry battery charger designed to efficiently transfer power from a variety of sources to a system power supply rail and a battery. The device offers precision charge current regulation, ±0.5% charge voltage regulation and operates across a wide 4.5 V to 55 V input voltage range compatible with a variety of different input voltage sources.
