M/A-COM Technology Solutions Introduces New 6-Bit Serial/Parallel Module Driver
|
May 31, 2012 Press Release

-- Module Driver Features Low Power Dissipation and CMOS/LVCMOS Control Logic
Lowell, MA, May
31, 2012 – M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog
semiconductor solutions, announced today 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 5mm 40-Lead PQFN, the CMOS driver allows a high output voltage of -0.1V and a low output
voltage of 0.1V. The quiescent supply current stands at 0.1µA. “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.” The table
below outlines typical performance:
 Production quantities and
samples of
MADR-010410
are available from stock. Final datasheets and additional product information can be obtained from the M/A-COM

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
