RF MICRO DEVICES expands product portfolio featuring
Ember ZigBee Technology
RF Micro Devices, Inc. unveiled the highly
integrated RF6555 ZigBee front end module
(FEM). The RF6555 is RFMD‘s newest
ZigBee FEM and is optimized for smart
energy/advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) applications providing utilities and
consumers more control over how they
monitor and save energy. ZigBee is a global
low power wireless networking standard
for monitoring and control across a
variety of applications, including energy
management, safety and security, home
automation, lighting, and electrical appliances.
The highly integrated RF6555 com-
2700-3400 MHz hermetically
sealed TO-8-VCO
Crystek‘s CVCOT8BE-2700- 3400 TO-8
VCO operates from 2700 MHz to 3400
MHz and provides high-performance
frequency control in harsh, demanding
environments. These VCOs feature a
typical phase noise of -85 dBc/Hz @ 10
kHz offset and excellent linearity. Tuning
sensitivity is rated at 120 MHz/V. Pulling
and Pushing are minimized to 25.0 MHz
and 10.0 MHz/V, respectively; second
harmonic suppression is -12 dBc typical.
The CVCOT8BE line features a fullfunctioning
VCO in a rugged, hermetically
sealed TO-8 package to protect the
VCO from moisture, contaminants and
other elements. The metal-can construction
features gold plated pins with no
internal wire bonds for enhanced signal
integrity. The CVCOT8BE-2700-3400
VCO features a tuning voltage range of
1.0 V~10 V with an input voltage of 11 V.
Maximum current consumption is 60 mA
and output power is +10 dBm. Crystek‘s
TO-8 VCO line has an operating temperature
range of -40 to +85 °C
bines the power amplifier (PA), harmonic
transmit filtering, and low noise amplifier
(LNA) with bypass mode in a single 5 mm
x 5 mm x 1 mm package, enabling customers
to shrink product footprint, accelerate
product time-to-market, lower bill of
material (BOM) costs, and reduce power
consumption for Smart Energy and Home
Area Network (HAN) applications.
RFMD‘s RF6555 is ideally suited for battery
operated smart grid and smart energy
applications, such as smart meters, demand
response, and HAN devices. The RF6555 is
New 3475-MHz-VCO from
CRYSTEK
Crystek‘s CVCO 55CC-3475-3475 VCO
operates at 3475 MHzwith a control voltage
range of 0.5 V~4.5 V. This VCO features
a typical phase noise of -115 dBc/Hz
@ 10 kHz offset and has excellent linearity.
Output power is typically +7 dBm.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA,
the model CVCO55CC-3475-3475 is
packaged in the industry-standard 0.5in.
x 0.5-in. SMD package. Input voltage
is 8 V, with a max.current consumption
of 35 mA. Pulling and Pushing are
minimized to 0.2 MHz and 0.2 MHz/V,
respectively. Second harmonic suppression
is -15 dBc typical.
The CVCO55CC-3475-3475 is ideal for
use in applications such as digital radio
equipment, fixed wireless access, satellite
communications systems, and base
stations.
