Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Available in "bare die" or surface mount packaging, these MMICs are optimised to provide design flexibility and faster time to market for designers of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint type wireless communication infrastructure applications.
All of Avago's next-generation millimetre-wave MMICs are available in 5 x 5mm surface-mount packages or in chip form, making the product easy to store, manage and integrate.
The MMICs support a wide range of radio bands and deliver industry-high performance levels.

IR transceiver slims down to fit latest PDAs
Agilent Technologies has announced a new serial infra-red (SIR) transceiver that is ideal for new-generation personal information devices, such as PDAs, which are becoming increasingly thinner.
Additionally, Avago leverages its own mass manufacturing expertise obtained from its wireless handset operations to reliably deliver high-quality MMIC products in high volume amounts.
New to the Avago family are the following devices.
The AMMC/P-6408 is a broadband 1W power amplifier from 6 to 18GHz.
The MMIC is optimised for linear operation with an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 38dBm.
The AMMC/P-6408 operates from a 5V bias at 650mA.
The AMMC-6550 image reject mixer supports a wide range of radio bands from 15 to 50GHz with 20dBm image rejection ratio.
It operates from a 0.4V bias with almost zero current consumption.
The AMMC/P-6545 is a subharmonic pumped mixer that supports 18-45GHz with the injected LO at half of that frequency required by conventional mixer plus low conversion loss of 12dB.
The AMMC/P-6222 and 6232 high-linearity low-noise amplifiers operate from 7 to 32GHz and feature best-in-class linearity of 29dBm for superior network coverage, high gain of 25-27dB and low noise figure of 2.3-2.8dB.
The AMMC/P-6522/6532 multifunction LNA/image reject mixers support 7-34GHz operation.
These are broadband integrated receivers with NF 2.5dB and image suppression of 15dBm.
They provide cost-effective alternatives to multichip solutions that have higher loss and complex assembly.
The AMMC/P-6421 is a 10-18GHz power amplifier that provides P1dB of 30dBm at frequency range of 12-16GHz with 23dB gain.
The AMMC/P-6421 operates from a single 5V bias at 500mA.
The AMMC/P-6333 driver amplifier 17-33GHz, features a high gain of 22dB at 4V and high linearity of 23dBm at 4V.
The AMMC/P-6333 operates from a single voltage supply of 4V at 290mA.
With the exception of the AMMC/P-6333/6421/6532 devices, products are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
Avago's AMMC/P-6333/6421/6532 will be available in Q3 2007.
Additional products that will be available later this year include: the AMMP-6425, a 1W power amplifier, 18-28GHz; the AMMP-6430 1W power amplifier, 27-32GHz; and the AMMP-5024 wideband amplifier, 30kHz-40GHz. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
