Capacitive RF MEMS switch design and simulation
By Anil Pandey, EDAboard.com member The switching is required in many applications at low as well as at high frequency. RF MEMS switches are the specific micromechanical switches that are designed to operate at RF to mmWave frequencies. MEMS switches usages some mechanical movement to achieve a closed or open circuit in the Radio Frequency […]
PCIe Gen 4-compliant clock buffers powered from single 1.5 V/1.8 V supplies
Silicon Labs has introduced a new family of low-power PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 1/2/3/4 clock buffers that provide ultra-low jitter clock distribution in 1.5 V and 1.8 V applications. With additive jitter performance of 40 fs RMS (typical), Silicon Labs’ new Si532xx PCIe clock buffers provide more than 90 percent margin to stringent PCIe Gen 3 […]
RF power amplifier, Part 1: Functions
In the RF signal chain, the power amplifier (PA) is the active element located between the transmitter signal chain circuitry and the antenna, Figure 1. It is often a single discrete component, one with requirements and parameters which differ from those of much of the transmit chain as well as the receiver circuitry. This FAQ […]

Precise clock oscillators come in compact packages
Clock oscillators have become essential to digital equipment by providing the precisely timed reference signal that controls an electronic circuit. As electronic equipment development cycles grow continually shorter, demand for quick-delivery component samples continues to rise. Additionally, the trend toward smaller, more functional, better-performing electronic devices is also fueling demand for clock oscillators that offer […]
Rotary encoders, Part 2: magnetic encoders
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute position as well). Q: What is the basic principle of the magnetic encoder? A: The magnetic encoder uses a rotating gear made of ferrous metal and […]
Op amps, comparators said to be smallest ever
Texas Instruments introduced the industry’s smallest operational amplifier and low-power comparators at 0.64 mm2. As the first amplifiers in the compact X2SON package, the TLV9061 op amp and TLV7011 family of comparators enable engineers to reduce their system size and cost, while maintaining high performance in a variety of Internet of Things (IoT), personal electronics […]
