Microchip Technology Inc. (Chandler, AZ) introduced a family of 1MHz operational amplifiers that reduce supply voltage demand, making them suitable for extending battery life and other low-voltage applications. The MCP6001, MCP6002 and MCP6004 devices, which offer rail-to-rail input/output and have a 90-degree phase margin into a 60, 10kohm load, provide stability in a low-cost operational […]
Nanjing No. 11 Radio Fty (Nanjing, China) announced its new RF10 Series of fusible resistors, which are available with voltage ratings of...
NEC Corp. (Japan) announced that it has developed a nitride semiconductor power transistor capable of 2.3W power amplification in the sub-millimeter band (30GHz), almost thrice the output power of previous chip. The new transistor provides watt-grade power amplification without the need for the power divider/combiner that conventionally generated larger chip sizes and increased power loss. […]
