Avago Technologies Launches Advanced MMICs With Broad Bandwidth Support for Test and Measurement Market.Efficiently Integrated ICs Target Sophisticated Network and Spectrum Analyzer A hardware device or software used to examine the frequency and power components of a signal. It provides more information than an oscilloscope, because it can display the signals over a range of frequencies. Needs for Wireless Communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. Testing MUNICH, Germany -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced three new MMICs designed to address the complex needs of test and measurement equipment applications for wireless networks. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. The AMMC-6380, -6470 and -6350 microcircuits are ideal for test and measurement applications where highly accurate instrumentation and signal processing See DSP. support for high-end frequencies are required. Using a cascade design for high efficiency, Avago's AMMC-6380 is a DC-80 GHz traveling wave amplifier ideal for high gain and broad bandwidth applications. Avago's AMMC-6470 is a 40-79 GHz power amplifier Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. that runs with a low DC quiescent quiescent at rest; latent; the G0 stage of the cell cycle. current of 300 mA. The AMMC-6350 is a DC-50 GHz differential output power amplifier ideal for instrumentation applications. It has a gain of 5 dB and a low quiescent current of 200 mA. All MMICs operate off a single +5 V and ship with on-chip matching for high performance. The AMMC-6380, -6470 and -6350 are the newest additions to Avago's extensive line of high quality, high performance MMICs. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Philip Gadd, senior director of marketing for Avago Technologies' wireless semiconductor division, "Avago holds a wealth of knowledge in MMIC (Monolithic Microwave IC) An integrated circuit used in high-frequency applications such as mobile phones. Also known as "monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave IC," MMICs combine transistors and passive devices (resistors, capacitors, etc. performance requirements, including linearity, power and efficiency expertise, for supporting broad-bandwidth, highly reliable instrumentation systems. The products we are announcing today are ideal for addressing the highly complex needs of the growing test and measurement market, which continues to be fueled by rapidly evolving standards in the telecommunications and electronics industries." Availability and Pricing Pricing for Avago's AMMC-6380, 6470 and 6350 begin at $150 to $250 in 100-1000 volumes. Products are sampling now and will be generally available in Q208.
