NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES COMPONENTS / SUBSYSTEMS High Directivity 0302 Thin Film Couplers for WiFi Bands AVX Corp. has released its high directivity 0302 thin film couplers for WiFi bands, including the new, tight tolerance 0302 component, are now available through distribution. The WiFi band couplers are based on multilayer integrated thin film (ITF) technology, which provides the miniature components with improved high frequency performance across the WiFi spectrum (2,400 to 5,905 MHz) and rugged construction for reliable automatic assembly. Available in 0302, 0402 and 0603 packages, each of which exhibit identical electrical performance, AVX's WiFi band couplers also feature land grid array (LGA) packaging technology, the benefits of which include: inherently low profile, self alignment during reflow, improved solderability, low parasitics and effective heat dissipation. "As with many of our products, we developed the new high directivity 0302 thin film WiFi couplers in response to customer requests for smaller components with equivalent or improved electrical specifications, so we are very pleased that our customers can now easily acquire the new standard and tight tolerance components through distribution," said Larry Eisenberger, senior marketing application engineer at AVX. AVX's high directivity couplers for WiFi bands are rated for operating temperatures spanning -40°C to 85°C and are supplied with lead-free and RoHS compliant 100 percent tin terminations compatible with automatic soldering technologies, including: reflow, wave, vapor phase and manual. Finished parts are 100 percent tested for electrical parameters and visual characteristics, and each production lot is evaluated on a sample basis for both static humidity and endurance. High-Power Amplifier Offers Low EVM and Current for 256-QAM and 802.11b/g/n Microchip Technology, Inc. has released its latest 2.4 GHz 256-QAM RF high-power amplifier, the SST12CP21, which offers ultra low EVM and current consumption for 256-QAM and IEEE 802.11n systems. The SST12CP21 delivers high linear output power of up to 23 dBm at 1.75 percent dynamic EVM, with MCS9 HT40 MHz bandwidth modulation at 5V and 320 mA current consumption. Additionally, the SST12CP21 delivers 25 dBm linear power at 3 percent EVM with 350 mA current consumption for 802.11g/n applications. This performance extends the range of 802.11b/g/n WLAN and MIMO systems, while consuming low current at the maximum 256QAM data rate. The SST12CP21 is also spectrum mask compliant up to 28 dBm for 802.11b/g communication. Board space is reduced by the small 3 by 3 by 0.55 mm, 16-pin QFN package that matches a popular pin-out. Achieving the maximum data rate and longest range while minimizing current consumption is essential to Wi-Fi MIMO access-point, router and set-top-box system designers. The SST12CP21 power amplifier has a low operating current of 320 mA at 23 dBm and 350 mA at 25 dBm, which enables multichannel and higher data rate WLAN systems. This amplifier also features 50 ohm on-chip input match and simple output match, which is easy to use and reduces board size. Additionally, the integrated linear power detector provides accurate output power control over temperature and 2-to-1 output mismatch. The SST12CP21 is available for sampling and volume production, in the 3 by 3 by 0.55 mm, 16-pin QFN package. Pricing is $0.754 each, in 10,000-unit quantities.
