Front-end modul med Bluetooth port
SiGe Semiconductor lancerer single-chip front-end modul til WLAN-chipsæts (in english).
SiGe Semiconductor, Inc. has expanded its wireless LAN and Bluetooth product range byintroducing the SE2600S high performance, single chip integrated front-end module (FEM) with a Bluetooth port.
Commenting on the new device Sanjiv Shah, Director, Product Marketing, WiMAX & Embedded WLAN at SiGe says:
- We developed the SE2600S specifically to complement WLAN chipsets with integrated WLAN Power Amplifiers (PAs) that target fast-growth WLAN-enabled mobile terminal
applications. According to Strategy Analytics, shipments of WLAN-enabled cellular handsets alone are expected to grow dramatically to around 500 million units by 2013 and so we see excellent potential in this area.
The SE2600S is suitable for applications such as cellular handsets, digital cameras, personal media players, personal digital assistants as well as WLAN/Bluetooth combination modules for smartphones.
The SE2600S integrates a 2.4 GHz SP3T Switch and a low noise amplifier with bypass mode in an ultra-compact CSP package. It is capable of switching between WLAN RX, WLAN TX and Bluetooth modes.
The SE2600S features integrated DC blocking capacitors, has a low Bluetooth port loss of only 0.5 dB and its receiver provides 1.8 dB Noise Figure and 12 dB gain which enable the device to deliver superior performance when compared with similar competitive products currently available.
Shah concludes:
- We are pleased that with the introduction of the new SE2600S SiGe has delivered a solution that addresses the industry-led requirements for a highly integrated, small
footprint solution for chipsets that target some of the most popular new consumer electronics devices, concludes Sanjiv Shah.
The SE2600S comes in a small lead and halogen free, ROHS compliant 1.07x1.05x 0.38mm CSP package, this low profile package height makes it suitable for easy integration in WLAN modules.
The SE2600S is priced at $0.35 at 10K quantities it is available now and is offered with applications documentation and evaluation boards. SiGe’s renowned customer support is readily available to assist customers in their design of the FEM into their applications
and to optimize performance.
