MACOM introduces new integrated SPDT switch and LNA for front end WLAN applications
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which makes analog semiconductors, components and subassemblies) has introduced a new integrated SPDT switch and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), with bypass mode, for WLAN 802.11a,n,ac network applications.
Covering the 5 – 6 GHz bandwidth, the MAMF-010614 is packaged in a 2mm x 2mm 12-lead STQFN. The device, which includes an SPDT switch with an integrated LNA with bypass mode, allows for a simple and easy solution for real estate constrained customers, says the firm. MAMF-010614 delivers high isolation between Tx and Rx paths, low Tx insertion loss and high gain.
“This multi function MMIC is useful to customers in WLAN applications where a bypass mode is required to avoid near-field distortion”, said Tom Galluccio, Product Manager. “The MAAM-010614 has low Tx insertion loss of 0.9 dB, high Rx gain performance of 12 dB and low Rx noise figure of 2.2dB, altogether making it a high performing solution in an ultra-small package.”
Typical performance:
| Parameter | Units | MAMF-010614 |
| Frequency | GHz | 5-6 |
| Gain | dB | 12 |
| Insertion Loss | dB | 6 |
| Noise Figure | dB | 2.2 |
| Isolation | dB | 19 |
| Rx Input/ Output Return Loss | dB | 10 |
| Rx Input IP3 | dBm | 10 |
| Rx Input P1dB | dBm | -3 |
| Quiescent Current | mA | 10 |
| Tx Input/ Output Return Loss | db | 12 |
Production quantities and samples of MAMF-010614 are available from stock.
