This application note looks at VCO fundamentals, for typical oscillator designs through tuning sensitivity characteristics. Examples of a Colpitts and Clapp circuit are presented.
Testing at millimeter-wave frequencies brings new and different measurement challenges, so minimizing measurement uncertainty is critical in the development of these new technologies. This white paper discusses the challenges associated with millimeter-wave testing and how to optimize your Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurement capability to provide the confidence required to make performance/cost tradeoffs.
In today's highly competitive environment, we recognize that quality is a differentiator and make it the thread of our system that runs across business processes throughout the entire company, from various stages of the product life cycle to manufacturing operations and post-sales services. We have established an environment that empowers individuals to focus on continuous improvement and foster growth through a commitment to total customer satisfaction. As an industry leader, Skyworks has demonstrated its quality leadership and strengthened its commitment to customer satisfaction through formal, third-party registration to ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, and ANSI/ESD S.20.20.
By utilizing a more sophisticated method of data transfer directly to and from the RF simulation application, design cycle time can be greatly reduced while also increasing the integrity of the resulting board design.
Traditional modeling methods such as rules of thumb and spreadsheet calculations (Friis equations) give limited insight on the full performance of an RF link in next-generation wireless products. This white paper highlights the advantages of using specialized RF system simulation software to accurately predict critical metrics for wireless RF links.
Dual-polarity supplies are commonly needed to operate
electronics such as op amps, drivers, or sensors,
but there is rarely a dual-polarity supply available at
the point of load. The LTCî3260 is an inverting charge
pump (inductorless) DC/DC converter with dual low
noise LDO regulators that can produce positive and
negative supplies from a single wide input (4.5V to
32V) power source. It can switch between high efficiency
Burst Modeî operation and low noise constant
frequency mode, making it attractive for both portable
and noise-sensitive applications.
Commonly used substrates for high power resistors and terminations are Beryllia, Aluminum Nitride, and to alesser extent, Boron Nitride and Silicon Carbide. While these materials are known for their superior thermal properties, none of them come even close to matching the thermal conductivity of CVD Diamond.
