m/a-com technology solutions inc. (m/a-com tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, announced a new transmit/receive module driver ic which provides 6-bit serial/parallel logic control and t/r switch control for multifunction t/r modules.
the madr-010410 is an efficient cmos driver and ideal for logic control of gaas based t/r modules as well as a 6-bit s/p driver for attenuators or phase shifters. high speed analog cmos technology is utilized to achieve low power consumption at moderate to high speeds.
the madr-010410 boasts low power dissipation and translates cmos/lvcmos input controls to negative gate control voltages for gaas fets. packaged in a 5 mm 40-lead pqfn, the cmos driver allows a high output voltage of -0.1 v and a low output voltage of 0.1 v. the quiescent supply current stands at 0.1 µa.
“our cmos driver solution works well with highly integrated multi-function t/r modules,” said kevin harrington, a&d product marketing manager. “it offers multiple control functions for phase shifters, digital attenuators, switches, and amplifiers.”
