High Gain Wideband RF Power Amplifier ICs Combine Elevated Performance with Attractive Pricing

26th April 2017 - Solid State Supplies continues to strengthen its product portfolio relating to advanced analogue technology through its partnership with CML Microcircuits. Delivering heightened levels of operational performance, while still remaining very cost effective, the CMX901 is a 3-stage RF power amplifier that is optimised for VHF/UHF radio deployments. Requiring a single polarity 2.5V to 6V supply, this device is capable of covering a frequency range from 130MHz to 950MHz. It can attain 40dB gain, as well as power efficiency figures of up to 60%. At 160MHz, when 4V is applied, it provides a typical power output of 2.5W. A working temperature range of -40°C +85°C enables this device to be deployed in demanding industrial environments, while its compact 5mm x 5mm form factor makes it highly appealing for applications where board space is limited. Among its key uses are in data logging equipment, marine VHF communications systems, automatic meter readers, industrial IoT equipment, mesh/MANET networking infrastructure, remote monitoring systems and RFID readers/writers. Input and output matched circuits are implemented through external components, in order to allow power and efficiency parameters to be adjusted to meet specific application requirements. Also available through Solid State Supplies to accompany the CMX901 power amplifier is the EV9011 evaluation board (which is offered in 3 different frequency band variants).
