Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a LDMOS transistor from NXP Semiconductors. The MRF8VP13350NR3 is a 350 W CW transistor designed for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications in the 700 MHz to 1300 MHz frequency range. It is capable of 350W CW or pulse power in narrowband operation. The device is internally input matched for ease of use, and it can be used single-ended or in a push-pull configuration.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a monolithic phase and amplitude controller (MPAC) from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE46120 covers a frequency range of 1.8 GHz to 2.2 GHz and integrates a 90-degree hybrid splitter, digital phase shifters and a digital step attenuator (DSA), along with a low voltage CMOS serial interface. The MPAC is designed for precise phase and amplitude control of two independent RF paths.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new receiver from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The XR1020-QH is a 31 to 36 GHz receiver with a noise figure of 3 dB and 14 dB conversion gain. It integrates a low noise amplifier, image reject mixer and LO buffer amplifier within a fully-molded, lead-free, 4-millimeter, 24-lead PQFN package.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a divide-by-4 prescaler from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation.The PE35400 is a high-performance UltraCMOS® prescaler with a fixed divide ratio of 4 and an operating frequency range from 3 to 13.5 GHz. It operates on a single voltage supply with a frequency-selecting bias resistor, draws a low current of 16 mA, and has a low SSB phase noise of -135 dBc/Hz at 3.025 GHz output frequency.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new six-channel silicon carbide MOSFET driver from Wolfspeed, a Cree Company. The CGD15FB45P1 features six output channels, isolated power supply, a direct-mount low inductance design, short circuit protection, and over-temperature and under-voltage protection. The new gate driver has a smaller footprint and enhanced functionality over the previous version.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a SP2T reflective switch from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MASW-011060 is a high-power PIN diode SP2T switch in a common anode configuration, operating from 0.5 to 6.0 GHz.
