Reference design makes for powerful basestations
Xicor has teamed up with Motorola to provide radio-frequency power amplifier (RFPA) reference platforms for GSM, Edge and W-CDMA cellular basestation applications.
As the X60008EIS8-50 is pin-compatible with many of the industry voltage references, no board layout changes are required, and so a faster time-to-market release can be achieved.
The device is a 5V reference featuring +/-0.1% accuracy, a very low 20ppm/C maximum temperature coefficient, and an ultralow power supply current of just 500nA.
Able to run from a supply voltage range of 5.1 to 9V, the reference has a long-term stability of 10ppm/kh and features a very low dropout voltage of 100mV at no load.
The X60008EIS8-50 allows designers to achieve a performance range previously not available in its price range.
Previously, systems requiring this level of performance were constrained by cost burdens.
The range of applications for the X60008EIS8-50 is wide and includes high resolution A/Ds and D/As, precision current sources, smart sensors, digital meters, precision regulators, strain gauge bridges, calibration systems, precision oscillators, threshold detectors, V-F convertors battery management systems and servo systems.
The X60008EIS8-50 is able to operate in an ambient temperature range of -40 to +85C, and is available in 8-lead SOIC packaging.
Xicor will continue to expand the X60008 family featuring additional voltage and performance options.
The company also plans additional product family introductions including smaller packages and products designed for applications requiring fast transient response performance.
