applications from 5 to 20GHz in a
single device. This model is ideal
for wideband systems like defense
and instrumentation which require
full coverage in a single device, and
it delivers consistent performance
across its entire frequency range,
allowing users to reduce part
numbers on their bill of materials with
one model. The splitter/combiner
provides 1.1dB typical insertion loss,
20dB isolation, 0.1dB amplitude
unbalance and 2-4˚ phase unbalance.
It handles up to 2.5W RF input power
as a splitter and is capable of passing
up to 1.2A DC current from input to
output. It comes housed in a tiny
4x4mm QFN, giving designers both
a new level of performance and the
flexibility to add these capabilities
almost anywhere on their PCB.
Mini-Circuits’ Tiny 100W
Bi-Directional Coupler
Supports Applications from
50 to 6000MHz
Mini-Circuits’
SCBD-16-63HP+
wideband bi-directional coupler
handles RF input power up to
100W for applications from 50 to
6000MHz including cellular, WiMax,
GSM, ISM, test labs and more.
This model provides an outstanding
combination
of
performance
parameters over its full frequency
range with mainline loss as low
as 0.2dB, 23dB directivity, 25dB
input/output return loss, ±0.6dB
coupling flatness (specified over
various bandwidths), and DC
current passing up to 2A. The
coupler is designed with open-style
printed wire laminate construction
(0.70x0.32x0.20”)
for
easy
integration into dense PCB layouts.
Cypress Introduces the
Industry’s Fastest 64Mb Quad
Serial Peripheral Interface
NOR Flash Memory with
Extended Temperature Range
Support
New FS-S Family Device Provides
High Read Bandwidth to Enable
Faster Access Times in High-
Performance Embedded Systems
Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
(Nasdaq: CY), a global leader
in embedded systems solutions,
today introduced a 1.8V, 64Mb
NOR Flash memory with a Quad
Serial Peripheral Interface (Quad
SPI). The newest device in the
Cypress FS-S NOR Flash family
combines the Quad SPI interface
with the industry’s highest read
bandwidth and fastest program
time while enabling a small PCB
layout. The device is ideal for high-
performance applications, such as
video game consoles, Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),
automotive instrument clusters and
infotainment systems, networking
equipment and set-top boxes.
High-performance system designs
require the highest read bandwidth
for program execution, a small, low-
pin-count package, and the fastest
program and sector erase times.
The 64Mb FS-S Quad SPI NOR
Flash memory leverages an 80-MHz
Double Data Rate (DDR) mode to
deliver read bandwidth of 80 MBps
and enables the fastest program
execution for high-performance
systems. Available in industry-
standard compact 8-lead SOIC and
24-ball BGA packages, the device
saves board space and simplifies
layout. The device provides a
0.475-ms program time per 512
bytes, increasing manufacturing
throughput and enabling new data
to be written quickly. For battery-
