Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT8710, its first synchronous SEPIC, inverting, boost and flyback multi-topology DC/DC controller. This synchronous device replaces the output diode with a high efficiency P-channel MOSFET, increasing efficiency, maximum output current (up to 10A) and eliminating the heat sink typically required in medium to high power applications, making the LT8710 highly versatile for a wide range of power supply designs.
Skyworks introduces a low noise amplifier with high linearity and excellent return loss, while drawing as low as 5 mA of bias current. The internal active bias circuitry of the SKY67015-396LF LNA provides stable performance over temperature and process variation.
Custom MMIC added three new GaAs MMIC power amplifiers covering 5 to 11 GHz to their growing standard product library. The CMD169P4 (5 to 7 GHz), CMD170P4 (7.5 to 9 GHz) and CMD171P4 (9.5 to 11 GHz) each have an output 1 dB compression point of greater than +28 dBm, with gain levels from 20 to 30 dB.
Linear Technology announces the LTC5584, an ultrawide bandwidth direct conversion I/Q demodulator with outstanding linearity of 31 dBm IIP3 and 70 dBm IIP2. The device offers best-in-class demodulation bandwidth of over 530 MHz, supporting the latest generation of LTE multimode, LTE Advanced receivers, as well as digital predistortion (DPD) receivers.
