Universal-footprint family of bandpass filters and duplexers
The latest surface-mount RF bandpass filters from CTS Corp are designed for use in LTE-U (unlicensed) and LTE-LAA (licensed assisted access). The CTS UPB550A Bandpass Filter has an 0.7dB typical and <1.0dB worst case insertion loss, while providing >= 50dB rejection across all the major FDD bands. This would enable it to meet the receive […]
Specialized semiconductor materials
Early semiconductor devices were based on germanium, although there were others around such as selenium used in rectifiers. Germanium doesn’t need to be as pure as silicon for making devices but has higher leakage and is not so good at high temperatures so silicon has taken over and is the mainstay of current electronics. However, […]
Top analog threads on EDAboard.com – September
High-side switching using P channel – I am using LTC4412 for power path switching. In the example, it shows use of P Channel with drain connected to Positive and Source to load. I understand that this would avoid reverse flow but shouldn’t the voltage input be connected to Source of MOSFET? Read more I am trying the following […]
Techniques to speed up SoC RTL and physical synthesis
David Stratman and Vinay Patwardhan, Cadence In the more complex world of today’s SoCs, you’re integrating a large number of third-party IP blocks with your own highly tuned RTL, while aggressively pushing frequency in the face of lower power requirements and area budgets. You also want to ensure a reliable handoff to place and route […]
Medical-grade accelerometer for implantables
STMicroelectronics has introduced the MIS2DH, an ultra-low-power 3-axis accelerometer specifically designed for medical applications, including implantable devices classified by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as Class III. The accelerometer is an off-the-shelf device that can enable functions such as activity monitoring and posture sensing to be included in a wide range of medical applications. […]
