During their presentation titled “How Open Source Collaboration Is Transforming the Automotive Industry,” the […]

Microchip announces the industry’s first MOST150 coaxial transceiver. Extending the usage of coaxial cabling to powerful automotive infotainment networks based on the latest MOST150 standard, the newly introduced OS82150 integrates a coaxial cable driver and coaxial cable receiver into a small-footprint, 4×4 mm QFN package. The OS82150 coaxial transceiver broadens Microchip’s portfolio of MOST150 network […]

Microchip announces its latest 2.4 GHz 256-QAM RF high-power amplifier – the SST12CP21 – which offers ultra-low EVM and current consumption for 256-QAM and IEEE 802.11n systems. The SST12CP21 delivers high linear output power of up to 23dBm at 1.75% dynamic EVM, with MCS9 HT 40 MHz bandwidth modulation at 5V and 320 mA current […]

Microchip announces the new SST11CP15 RF power amplifier for 5GHz IEE 802.11a/n WLAN embedded applications. The device operates on the 4.9 to 5.9GHz band and offers a wide operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V. The SST11CP15 features a high linear output power of 18dBm at 2.5 percent EVM, using 802.11a OFDM 54Mbps at 3.3V, […]

Microchip announces the expansion of its RF power amplifier portfolio, with the addition of the new SST12LP17E and SST12LP18E power amplifiers. The SST12LP17E is the smallest fully matched power amp in its class, requiring only one DC bypass capacitor to achieve optimum performance. The SST12LP18E is a lower-cost, lower-voltage alternative to Microchip’s popular SST12LP14E power […]
