Distribution partnership announced
Richardson Electronics has announced a North American distribution partnership with Avago Technologies, of San Jose, California, to distribute its complete line of RFIC, transistor, Schottky and PIN diode, and millimetre wave (mmW) products.
Avago's line of RF semiconductors provides solutions for numerous markets including cellular base station, WLAN, WiMAX, GPS, ISM, RFID and mmW, including radio links, VSAT and military.
Avago's mmW amplifiers in a low-cost, leadless package are also available from Richardson.
To support users' evaluation and design-in of Avago's RF semiconductors, Richardson stocks a designer kit which includes samples and detailed application notes. Evaluation boards are also available.
