Hittite Microwave Corp., the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has introduced two new wideband direct I/Q modulators which are ideal for automotive, broadband, cellular/3G, WiMAX/4G, military and test & measurement equipment applications between 20 and 4000 MHz.
The HMC-C062 is a fanout buffer designed to support data transmission rates of up to 50 Gbps. The device can also operate with clock signals up to 30 GHz. The input is broadband from DC to 30 GHz. During normal operation, input data (or clock) is transferred to both output channels. Differential input signals to the HMC-C062 are terminated with 50 Ohms to ground on-chip, and may be either AC or DC coupled.
Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has launched the HMC-T2100, a new, easy to implement 10 MHz to 20 GHz Synthesized Signal Generator which provides the highest output power, lowest harmonic levels and broadest frequency range compared with any signal generator in its class for only $7,998.00.
Hittite has introduced a new GaAs HEMT MMIC low noise amplifier die, the HMC-ALH508, which will allow designers to address E-band applications from 71 to 86 GHz. The HMC-ALH508 LNA die is ideal for automotive radar, military and space applications, wireless LANs, and ultra high capacity E-band communication systems.
These miniature hermetically sealed modules feature 1.85 mm connectors, operate from -40°C to +70°C, and consume between 560 and 690 mW from a -3.3V DC supply. The HMC-C060, HMC-C061, HMC-C064 and the HMC-C065 exhibit propagation delays of less than 230 ps with only 2 ps of deterministic jitter and rise/fall times of less than 10 ps.
Hittite Microwave Corp., the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has introduced a new wideband power amplifier module for use in microwave radio, VSAT, military & space, fiber optic and broadband test equipment applications from 100 MHz to 20 GHz.
Hittite Microwave offers the HMC614LP4E and the HMC714LP5E , the first single and dual integrated RMS power detectors capable of simultaneously measuring the instantaneous (RF envelope) power and true RMS power while providing a direct read of signal crest factor. Differential input sensing range is up to 72 dB to ±1 dB detection accuracy.
The HMC680LP4E is a high linearity, CMOS/ TTL compatible digitally controlled variable gain amplifier (DVGA) which operates from 30 to 400 MHz, and can be programmed to provide from -4 dB to 19 dB of gain, in 1 dB steps. The HMC680LP4E is housed in a 4x4 mm QFN leadless package and delivers noise figure of 5 dB in its maximum gain state.
Hittite has released the HMC720LC3C 1:2 Fanout Buffer, the HMC721LC3C XOR/XNOR gate, the HMC722LC3C AND/NAND/OR/NOR function, and the HMC723LC3C D-Type Flip Flop. These devices are designed to support data/clock rates up to 13 Gbps/13 GHz. The differential inputs to these devices are terminated with 50 Ohms to ground on chip, and may be either AC or DC coupled, while the differential outputs may be either AC or DC coupled.
The HMC614LP4E provides a "true RMS" representation of any RF/IF input signal and is ideally suited to wide bandwidth, wide dynamic range applications requiring repeatable power measurement over temperature; and especially where RF/IF waveshape and crest factor change with time.
