Microchip Technology radio frequency MMIC devices

Richardson RFPD, Inc. has launched a featured line-up of radio frequency MMIC devices from Microchip Technology. Microchip amplifiers, prescalers and control products offer high gain, high linearity, efficiency and low noise. Many Microchip wideband RF products offer a positive gain slope, which acts as a linearity corrector to help overcome system signal losses. This helps enable longer ranges and offer more bandwidth.

The selection of Microchip RF MMICs includes efficient and linear RF power amplifiers that can support up to 31 GHz and improve SWaP (size, weight and power). The MMICs also include GaAs MMIC power amplifier ICs, with broadband power spanning DC to 70 GHz.

Also included are GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier ICs that are designed to support up to 30 GHz, with enhanced noise and linearity performance, multiple product configurations, self-biased topologies and other critical features.

The range of MMIC devices also includes MMIC frequency divider, prescaler ICs to facilitate high-frequency operation up to 40 GHz. A phase frequency detector is also included, with integrated prescalers that are suitable for phase locked loop (PLL) applications.
