Avago Technologies today announced a comprehensive line of millimeter wave MMICs designed for next-generation communication networks. Offering superior linearity, Avago's new series of millimeter wave products include power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, general purpose amplifiers, mixers and multipliers. Available in bare die or surface mount packaging, these MMICs are optimized to provide design flexibility and faster time to market for designers of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint type wireless communication infrastructure applications.

All of Avago's next generation millimeter wave MMICs are available in a 5x5 mm surface mount package or in chip, making the product easy to store, manage and integrate. The MMICs support a wide range of radio bands and deliver industry-high performance levels. Additionally, Avago leverages its own mass manufacturing expertise obtained from its wireless handset operations to reliably deliver high-quality MMIC products in high volume amounts.

New to the Avago family are the following:

·AMMC/P-6408 Power amplifier: 6-18 GHz, a broad band 1W power amplifier. The MMIC is optimized for linear operation with an output 3rd order intercept point (OIP3) of 38 dBm. The AMMC/P-6408 operates from a 5 V bias at 650 mA.

·AMMC-6550: Image reject mixer, 15-50 GHz, supports a wide range of radio bands with 20 dBm image rejection ratio. It operates from a .4 V bias with almost zero current consumption.

·AMMC/P 6545 Mixer: Sub-harmonic pumped mixer, supports 18-45 GHz with the injected LO at half of that frequency required by conventional mixer plus low conversion loss of 12 dB.

·AMMC/P-6222/6232High linearity low noise amplifier: 7-32 GHz feature best in class linearity of 29 dBm for superior network coverage, high gain of 25-27 dB and low noise figure of 2.3-2.8 dB.

·AMMC/P-6522/6532 Multi-function LNA/Image reject mixers: support 7-34 GHz. A broadband integrated receiver with NF 2.5 dB and image suppression of 15dBm. Ideal for cost effective alternative to multi-chip solution that have higher loss and complex assembly.

·AMMC/P-6421 Power amplifier: 10-18 GHz, provides P1dB of 30 dBm at frequency range of 12-16 GHz with 23 dB gain. The AMMC/P-6421 operates from a single 5 V bias at 500 mA.

·AMMC/P-6333 Driver amplifier 17-33 GHz, features a high gain of 22 dB at 4 V and high linearity of 23 dBm at 4 V. The AMMC/P-6333 operates from a single voltage supply of 4 V at 290 mA.

Availability

With the exception of the AMMC/P-6333/6421/6532 devices, products are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Avago's AMMC/P-6333/6421/6532 will be available in Q3'07.

Additional products that will be available later this year include: AMMP-6425: 1W Power amplifier, 18-28 GHz; AMMP-6430: 1W Power amplifier, 27-32 GHz; and AMMP-5024 Wide band amplifier, 30 kHz-40 GHz.
