drivers for its new products to
secure the high efficiency customer
requires to reduce power loss-
DMOS FET do not require a base
current, and can accept high current
density per device area, keeping
on-resistance low.
Main Features of New Products
High efficiency drive
TBD62xxxA series transistor arrays
cut power loss by about 38%[4]
compared with the TD62xxxA
series.
High-voltage, large-current drive
The absolute maximum output
rating is 50V/1.5A.
Packages to suit various needs.
The line-ups include a DIP
type, strongly demanded by the
equipment market for hobbies,
amusements and industrial fields,
and an HSOP type with a heat sink
that realizes both high current(1.5A)
drive and surface mounting.
Mini-Circuits’ Ultra-
Wideband Instrument
Amplifier Supports
Applications from 0.8 to
21GHz
Mini-Circuits’ TVA-82-213A+
benchtop instrument amplifier
provides extremely wideband
performance with 25dB gain and
±3.0dB gain flatness across the
entire 0.8 to 21GHz frequency
range, ideal for wideband test
instrumentation and lab use. This
model achieves +24 dBm output
power at 1dB compression, +30dBm
OIP3, 3dB noise figure, 70dB
reverse isolation, and good input/
output matching across its entire
operating frequency range (1.35
input VSWR, 1.4 output VSWR). The
amplifier is unconditionally stable
and is capable of withstanding open
and short loads while delivering
output power up to P1dB. It features
a built in 110/220VAC power supply,
making it easy to use in most lab
environments, and it comes in a
compact, light-weight aluminum
alloy case (15.35×8.27×3.25”) with
SMA connectors, perfect for bench-
top use.
Antenova announces two
flexible antennas: Bentoni
and Asper for positioning
applications with GNSS and
2.4-2.5GHz
Antenova Ltd, manufacturer of
antennas and RF antenna modules
for M2M and the Internet of Things,
is adding two new positioning
antennas, Bentoni and Asper, to its
range of flexible FPC antennas.
Bentoni is a positioning antenna
for all of the global public satellite
constellations: GPS, GLONASS,
Beidou and GALILEO. It is designed
to be used in trackers, portable
devices, network components,
drones and wearable electronics.
Asper is a dual antenna with two
separate antenna systems in a
single form factor. It combines a
1559 – 1609 MHz antenna with a
2.4 – 2.5 GHz antenna in the same
part for positioning applications
with wireless connectivity as well.
This antenna is suitable for sports
cameras, trackers, dash cams,
portable devices, network devices
and wearable electronics.
Both antennas offer high
performance and maintain good
isolation in situ within a device.
Bentoni and Asper are the latest
flexible FPC antennas in Antenova’s
flexiiANT product range. They
are supplied with an I-PEX MHF
connector and a 1.13 mm RF cable
in a choice of three lengths. They
can be folded to save space in
operation within a device.
Antenova’s antenna design team
aims to create antennas that a
product designer can integrate
with the other circuits in a design
in a convenient way, rather than
designing a product to fit around the
antenna. The aim of these antenna
designs is plug and play simplicity –
they are self-adhesive mounted so
that they can easily be fixed inside
an electronic device.
Bentoni antenna and Asper
antennas are available to order now.
