RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for CML Microcircuits’ CMX979 low power, dual RF/IF synthesizer IC. The CMX979’s RF fractional-N synthesizer section, with integrated VCO, takes only 36-45mA to produce a 2.7 to 3.6GHz output LO signal. The synthesizer’s configurable 1/2/4/6/8 frequency divider can shift its output to as low as 338MHz. With only 9mA additional current the device’s low power integer-N IF synthesizer, with integrated VCO and loop filter, can produce an output signal in the 500 to 1000MHz range and its 1/4/8/16 configurable output divider can shift that to as low as 31MHz. Targeted towards low power…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the MiniRF MRFXF0026, a 1:2.78 impedance ratio, transmission line transformer for unbalanced to balanced requirements.
