Custom MMIC

Custom MMIC, a leading developer of performance driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) has just released their latest Brochure and Product Selection Guide highlighting the ever expanding range of die and packaged MMIC products on offer. They are experienced in a broad range of III-V processes (e.g. GaAs, GaN, InP, InGaP) and have long standing relationships with the leading foundries. Products offered include high performance MMICs from DC to 50+ GHz for Mil/Aero, Instrumentation and Communications applications, including Space Qualification.

Products Include
  • RF to Millimeter Wave InP pHEMT, GaAs pHEMT, InGaP HBT, GaN pHEMT & GaAs MESFET MMICs.
  • Amplifiers: LNAs, Distributed Amplifiers, PAs and Drivers to 45GHz.
  • Control Devices: Phase Shifters, Attenuators & Switches to 40GHz.
  • Mixers: Fundamental, Dual & I/Q to 32GHz.
  • Multipliers: Active & Passive.

Distributed Driver Amplifier 
DC-20GHz

The  CMD192 from Custom MMIC is a wideband GaAs MMIC distributed amplifier that operates from DC to 20GHz and is a 50 ohm matched design, eliminating the need for RF port matching. The amplifier delivers greater than 19dB of gain with a corresponding 1dB compression point of 24.5dBm and noise figure of 1.9dB at 10GHz. This amplifier is available both as a die and housed in a 5x5mm QFN package.
 
Features
  • Ultra Wideband performance DC-20GHz.
  • Positive Gain Slope.
  • Gain 19.5dB.
  • Noise Figure 1.9dB.
  • High Output Power +24.5dBm.
  • Small Die Size or 5x5mm QFN Package.

SPDT Non-Reflective Switch
DC-18GHz

The  CMD195C3 is a broadband MMIC SPDT switch covering DC-18GHz with an insertion loss of 2.0dB and a high isolation of 37dB.The switching operation is controlled by a pair of complementary logic signals at 0/-5V and requires no bias supply. The positive slope in insertion loss versus frequency allows for several of the CMD195C3s to be cascaded together without the need for additional gain equalization circuitry.  Ideal applications for the CMD195 are microwave radio and VSAT, telecom infrastructure, test instrumentation, and military end-use.
 
Features
  • Ultra-Wideband Performance DC-18GHz.
  • Positive Gain Slope.
  • High Isolation 37dB.
  • Insertion Loss 2.0dB.
  • Input P1dB +25dBm.
  • Switching Speed 1.8nS.
  • Small Size Die or 3x3mm QFN Package.
