Altair Semiconductor and Ethertronics (a subsidiary of AVX) today announced a new small antenna technology, which will be demonstrated within a new cellular IoT wearable concept at Mobile World Congress Americas. The technology is a significant breakthrough that combines Ethertronics’ ultra-small antenna with Altair’s ALT1250 dual-mode Cat-M1/NB-IoT chipset algorithms to reduce the size of cellular wearable devices without […]
Filters suppress noise from 600 MHz to 2.7 GHz on audio lines
TDK Corporation has expanded the MAF1005G series of noise suppression filters for audio lines with four new MAF1005GAD-D types, which, thanks to their low DC resistance, feature a high rated current of up to 1.25 A. The new types employ TDK’s proprietary low-distortion ferrite that enables the new components to suppress noise at cellular frequencies from […]

SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches work up to 2.7 GHz
Pasternack has unveiled a new line of SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches that offer desirable performance for transmit and receive signal routing applications. Typical applications can involve use in radar systems, EW applications, base station infrastructure, repeaters, military/microwave radios, public safety/land mobile radios, UHF/VHF radios, and test and measurement applications. Pasternack’s new line of SPDT […]
Miniature 4-pin ≥0.4mm-pitch logic package simplifies PCB assembly
Nexperia announced the four pin X2SON4 package which is the smallest logic package that can be used without requiring an expensive and fragile step-down mask. Nexperia developed the X2SON packages — part of its MicroPak package range — to provide the smallest footprint for logic functions while ensuring pad pitch remains 0.4mm or over (step-down masks are only […]
GaAs digital step attenuators from DC-40 GHz
The DSA family of GaAs digital step attenuators is intended to ease the design of high dynamic range receivers and instrumentation. These applications often must accomplish gain control of 50dB or more. Fine step DSAs (e.g., 0.5dB Least Significant Bit [LSB]) are often used for these applications. However, when a large attenuation change is needed, it […]
Single-chip drivers for low- to mid-power motor control designs
Simplifying the design of low-to-mid-power motor controls in the 7V-45V range, the STSPIN830 and STSPIN840 single-chip drivers from STMicroelectronics contain flexible control logic and low-RDS(ON) power switches for industrial applications, medical technology, and home appliances. The STSPIN830 for driving 3-phase brushless DC motors has a mode-setting pin that lets users control the three half bridges […]
AVX receives 4-Star supplier excellence award from Raytheon
AVX Corporation was recently honored with a 4-Star Supplier Excellence Award from Raytheon’s Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) business unit. Now in its twelfth year, the annual Raytheon IDS Supplier Excellence Awards recognize suppliers who have provided outstanding service and partnership in exceeding customer requirements, including overall quality and on-time delivery. AVX has earned several of these […]
Direct drive ultrasonic ICs detect obstacles up to four meters
With the ICs E524.32 and E524.33, Elmos Semiconductor presents the next generation of the “Direct-Drive” ultrasonic IC family for the vehicle’s ultrasonic parking assistance systems. The ICs can also be used for distance measurements in industrial applications or robotic applications. The “Direct Drive” approach enables a significant reduction in system costs, since the transformer and other […]
