Vishay Siliconix Releases New 20-V and 30-VP-Channel Power MOSFETs With Industry’s Lowest On-ResistanceThe devices will be used as the adaptor switch and for load switching applications in notebook computers and industrial/general systems. Adaptor switches (switching between the adaptor/wall power and the battery power) are always on and drawing current. The lower on-resistance of the Si7135DP and Si7633DP translates into lower power consumption, saving power and prolonging battery life between charges. [Read more...] |
Mimix Broadband, Inc. Introduces 5 to 14 GHz GaAs MMIC Packaged Driver
Amplifier
RoHS compliant, 3 mm x 3 mm QFN packaged amplifier offers on-chip ESD
protection and uses single power supply
October 24, 2006, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces today a 5 to 14 GHz gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) driver amplifier, packaged in an RoHS compliant QFN package. This device is processed in a highly repeatable, 0.25 micron optical pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process and includes on-chip diodes for ESD protection. This three stage amplifier achieves 20 dB of gain and 11 dBm of P1dB. The device is self-biased and uses a single power supply. This packaged driver amplifier, identified as CMM0511-QT, is suitable for a variety of C-, X- and Ku-band applications.
The CMM0511-QT is a self biased low cost driver amplifier which eliminates the need for a negative voltage supply and any external matching elements. This general purpose driver amplifier comes in a 3 mm X 3 mm, plastic QFN package and delivers high performance over C-, X- and Ku-bands.
"The device saves valuable board area, is easy to mount and easy to handle in automated assembly lines," states Amer Droubi, Product Manager, Mimix Broadband, Inc. "The CMM0511-QT nicely complements our wide range of highly reliable driver amplifiers and gain blocks."
Engineering samples are available today from stock in small quantities. Technical support is also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600. The product datasheet and additional product information can be obtained from the Mimix Broadband website at www.mimixbroadband.com.
