Clock Jitter is commonly used to describe the performance requirements of oscillators and PLLs when driving high performance components like FPGAs, Microprocessors, and PHYs. But the plethora of clock jitter types, measurement methodologies, and corresponding specifications is broad and often leads to confusion. It is important to use the jitter type that is most appropriate […]

RF bandpass filter for intelligent transport systems complies to 3GPP
CTS Electronic Components, Inc. introduces a surface-mount RF bandpass filter for use in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) including 802.11p for wireless access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DRSC). The CTS TCB001A bandpass filter supports 2W of average RF output power at the antenna and is a necessary component to ensure compliance […]
Clock jitter attenuator optimizes serial interface functionality in base station designs
Analog Devices introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs. The JESD204B interface was specifically developed to address high-data rate system design needs, and the 3.2-GHz HMC7044 clock jitter attenuator contains functions that support […]
Coax GaN power amps span 30 MHz to 7.5 GHz
Pasternack, a leading manufacturer and supplier of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, announces their expanded offering of gallium nitride (GaN) coaxial power amplifiers. GaN has emerged as the technology of choice in power amplifier designs. The high power density of gallium nitride semiconductor technology dissipates heat more effectively, which results in amplifier designs that […]
World’s 1st thermocouple EMF-to-Celsius converter
Microchip Technology Inc., a provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, announced the MCP9600—the world’s first thermocouple-conditioning integrated circuit to combine precision instrumentation, a precision temperature sensor and a precision, high-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC), in addition to a math engine preprogrammed with the firmware to support a broad range of standard thermocouple types (K, […]
Driver amplifier delivers high gain and output power
Analog Devices has introduced a medium-power, distributed driver amplifier which operates between 24 and 35 GHz. The HMC1131 amplifier provides 22-dB of gain, +35-dBm output IP3, and +24 dBm of output power at 1-dB gain compression. The amplifier reduces the number of components required to achieve the desired output power and small signal gain, which […]
Top 10 analog threads on EDAboard.com – August
Crystal load capacitance – In the book, Experimental Methods in RF Design”, the authors state that “Our crystal had marked frequency of 7045 KHz. This was the specified frequency for operation with a 32-pF load capacitance.” If I had a 20MHz crystal, how will I know the exact value of its load capacitance? Read more […]
