Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new 650 V, 20 A silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode from Cree Inc. Benefits of the CVFD20065A include the option of replacing bipolar with unipolar rectifiers, essentially no switching losses, the reduction of heat sink requirements, and the ability to have parallel devices without thermal runaway.
The MAAL-011078 is designed for operation from 700 MHz to 6 GHz and is housed in a lead-free 2 mm 8-lead PDFN plastic package. The LNA has an integrated active bias circuit, allowing direct connection to 3 or 5 V bias and minimizing variations over temperature and process. V bias can be utilized as an enable pin to power the device up and down during operation.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two series of precision tolerance, NP0 RF microwave capacitors from American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC). The high-frequency, low-loss (Hi-Q) 400L series and 400S series capacitors feature a precision thin-film process that provides reliable and repeatable performance, and high series resonant frequency.
