Infineon’s latest class D audio module delivers higher output power, smaller footprint
Class D audio power amplifiers offer a combination of small size, low heat dissipation, high integration, and excellent sound quality. Unlocking the potential of its best-in-class power MOSFET technology, Infineon Technologies AG introduces the MERUS 2-channel, analog input, class D audio amplifier multichip module (MCM) MA5332MS. It is a powerful upgrade to its predecessor, offering the same […]
RF switches, Part 2: Analog and MEMS switches
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the venerable electromechanical RF switch – still widely used in some applications, where it is the only viable option—and the use of PIN diodes as RF switches. This part looks at analog and MEMS-based switches. Q: What is an analog switch? A: It’s conceptually straightforward: in basic form, […]
RF switches, Part 1: Mechanical and PIN-diode switches
There’s a ubiquitous and increasing need to switch RF signals ranging into the tens of GHz; four basic switch technologies – electromechanical, PIN diode, analog, and MEMS – are available, each with different features and capabilities. The need to switch RF signals has been a necessary design function since the earliest days of “wireless.” This […]
