These devices are typically used in high-frequency phase-locked loop A phase-locked loop or phase lock loop (PLL) is an electronic control system that generates a signal that has a fixed relation to the phase of a "reference" signal. A phase-locked loop circuit responds to both the frequency and the phase of the input signals, automatically (PLL PLL - phase-locked loop ) oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air circuits. They are designed for a broad array of microwave and communications systems, including point-to-point and point-to-multipoint digital radios, radar, electronic warfare Noun 1. electronic warfare - military action involving the use of electromagnetic energy to determine or exploit or reduce or prevent hostile use of the electromagnetic spectrum EW military action, action - a military engagement; "he saw action in Korea" , satellite communications, and avionics applications. Until now, prescalers above 14 GHz were not commercially available, which presented serious limitations for synthesizers at higher frequencies. Inphi's new family of prescalers extends the applicability of this class of devices up to 25 GHz, which represents a major breakthrough in microwave circuit technology and paves the way for innovative and cost-effective commercial, military, and aerospace applications. "Inphi's 25 GHz prescalers enable the development of high-performance dielectric resonator A dielectric resonator is an electronic component that exhibits resonance for a narrow range of frequencies, generally in the microwave band. The resonance is similar to that of a circular hollow metallic waveguide, except that the boundary is defined by large change in oscillators targeting both the commercial digital radio and the military and aerospace markets," said Mark Shahriary, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Lucix Corporation in Camarillo, California Camarillo is a city in Ventura County, California, United States. The population was 57,077 at the 2000 census. A January 1, 2006 California Department of Finance estimate lists the population at 64,034. The Ventura Freeway (U.S. Route 101) is the city's primary thoroughfare. . "With these devices, equipment manufacturers can significantly improve system performance in terms of phase noise to ensure that the RF output signals are clean and the integrity of the data is preserved." Inphi's prescaler circuits perform divide-by-2, divide-by-4, or divide-by-8 functions and operate from DC to 25 GHz. Available in both positive and negative power supply versions, these prescalers exhibit high input power sensitivity, low added phase noise, low output harmonics, and low DC power consumption across a wide frequency range.

Inphi's divide-by-2 and divide-by-4 prescalers are currently sampling with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers, and the divide-by-8 prescalers will be available for sampling in June. These products are available in a ceramic surface mount package or in die form, or on an evaluation board with SMA connectors. Unit pricing unit pricing n. The pricing of goods on the basis of cost per unit of measure. for the 25668DV and 25669DV divide-by-4 circuits is $50 (die) and $74 (packaged) for production quantities of 5,000 units.
