TriQuint Introduces a New Family of GaAs Products for Digital Radio and K-Band Sat-Com Markets.TriQuint's New Multi-Function Circuits Offer Market-Leading Size, Cost Advantages HILLSBORO, Ore. & RICHARDSON, Texas Richardson is a suburb in Dallas County and Collin County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. -- TriQuint Semiconductor (Nasdaq: TQNT), a leading supplier of microwave and millimeter wave products for wireless infrastructure and high-reliability communications systems, is introducing the first three members of its Multi-Function Circuit (MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) An application framework for writing Microsoft C/C++ and Visual C++ applications. See application framework. MFC - Microsoft Foundation Class ) family today and at the Electronica 2006 trade fair (14th-17th November) in Munich, Germany. These high performance gallium arsenide An alloy of gallium and arsenic compound (GaAs) that is used as the base material for chips. Several times faster than silicon, it is used in high frequency applications such as cellphones, DVD players and fiber optics. (GaAs) integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs) for point-to-point radio and satellite communications offer size, performance and cost advantages and were developed in direct response to customer requests for products with these characteristics. The three new TriQuint products address 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 needs for frequency upconversion in the transmit (Tx) and local oscillator Noun 1. local oscillator - an oscillator whose output heterodynes with the incoming radio signal to produce sum and difference tones heterodyne oscillator chains for digital radio and satellite communications systems. The TGC TGC The Golf Channel TGC The Game Creators (forum) TGC Trading Card Game TGC Time-Gain Compensation TGC The Gungan Council TGC The Golden Compass (Phillip Pullman book) TGC Take Good Care 4405 provides a high level of integration for designs that specify RF upconversion, a local oscillator (LO) frequency doubler and output RF signal amplification in a small, single product. TriQuint's new TGC4402 was created for designs that require upconversion without an integral LO doubler or output amplifier. The TGC4405 and x4402 both employ single-ended designs and therefore don't require external baluns. The TGC4403 is a millimeter wave frequency doubler that includes an output buffer amplifier An analog device that is typically used for impedance matching and signal isolation. For example, a sound card typically uses buffer amps at most of its input and output ports. . All of TriQuint's new product releases are 100% DC and RF tested (on-wafer) to ensure performance compliance. TriQuint's new designs target 18, 23 and 26 GHz applications including digital radio and K-band satellite communications. The products continue TriQuint's program to offer the high frequency, high performance market robust solutions that address the need for lower-cost products well suited to current and next-generation designs and are produced with very thick protective surface passivation passivation the final stage in instrument manufacture, passing the finished instruments through a bath of nitric acid which removes foreign particles and promotes the formation of a protective coating of chromium oxide. , offering a superior level of environmental robustness suitable for non-hermetic packages. "TriQuint's debut products for this market segment are designed based on years of experience with custom and standard high frequency application needs. The designs respond to customers who want to buy these types of products from TriQuint. Their overall performance is exceptional; we offer smaller sizes and a better cost structure than competing solutions. Their size makes them ideal for integration into multi-chip module A Multi-Chip Module or MCM is a specialized electronic package where multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies or other modules are packaged in such a way as to facilitate their use as a single IC. builds," remarked TriQuint Product Marketing Manager Mike Tessaro. The TGC4402 is a K-band upconverting mixer for digital radio and sat-com applications. This single balanced passive product features single-ended signal ports; external RF, LO and IF baluns are not required. Key performance specifications: * RF Frequency Range: 17GHz -27GHz * Typical Conversion Loss: 9 dB * IF Bandwidth: 0.5 - 3.0 GHz * ITOI ITOI IT Outsourcing India : 18 dBm (from a 17 dBm LO drive source) * LO Signal Rejection: -30 dBc * Die Size: 2.01sq-mm The TGC4403 is a K-band frequency doubler and includes a buffer amplifier. This digital radio and sat-com device delivers 20 dBm (typical) output power and 18 dB of gain. The amplifier's high conversion gain allows it to operate over a -5 dBm to +5 dBm input power range while consuming only 150mA of quiescent current from a +5V supply. Key performance specifications: * RF Frequency Range: 16GHz -30GHz * Gain: 18 dB (doubled output frequency from a +2 dBm, 8-15 GHz input) * Fundamental Signal Rejection: Greater than -30 dBc * Output RF Power: 20 dBm nominal * Die Size: 1.82sq-mm The TGC4405 is a K-band single -balanced upconverter. This multi-function product for digital radio and K-band sat-com applications features an integrated LO doubler and output post amplifier, providing 13 dB typical conversion gain across the 17-27 GHz RF band, with single-ended signal ports and integrated RF, LO and IF baluns. Key performance specifications: * RF Frequency Range: 17GHz -27GHz * Typical Conversion Gain: 13 dB * IF Bandwidth: 0.5 - 3.0 GHz * OTOI: 29 dBm (+2 dBm LO drive source) * LO Input Power Range: -5 dBm to +5 dBm * Bias: 425mA from a +5V supply * Die Size: 4.0sq-mm Data sheets for TriQuint's three new products are available at: http://www.triquint.com/docs/t/TGC4402/TGC4402.pdf http://www.triquint.com/docs/t/TGC4403/TGC4403.pdf http://www.triquint.com/docs/t/TGC4405/TGC4405.pdf Samples and pricing information for these new products is available upon request from TriQuint Product Marketing; please e-mail mtessaro@tqs.com.
