Microsemi adds a new monolithic microwave integrated circuit device family to a broad portfolio of RF products

Photocoupler

We are committed to providing the power, security, reliability and a leading supplier of high-performance semiconductor technology solutions Microsemi Company (Microsemi Corporation) announced its entry into monolithic microwave integrated circuits (monolithic microwave integrated circuit, MMIC) markets. In its rich RF Based on the history of microwave and millimeter wave solutions, the new product line will initially offer 16 products covering the DC-40GHz range, including wideband amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and switching products, designed for defense, communications, instrumentation and Aerospace industry.

Microsemi has been active in the development of MMIC products, while the use of sophisticated gallium arsenide (GaAs) and emerging nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology. Strategy Analytics noted that the US high Sammy defense and communications target market, the potential market for GaAs MMIC in 2015 will reach about $ 500 million, ABI Research also expects 2018 GaN MMIC market will reach about $ 100 million.

Microsemi's highly differentiated MMIC product features bring faster design cycles and smaller overall solution sizes for electronic warfare (EW), signal intelligence (SIGINT), military communications and more Applications such as instrumentation.

Ray Crampton, director of MMIC product line at Microsemi, said: "By leveraging the company's extensive experience and capabilities in these markets, we are able to work closely with industry-leading customers to define and develop products that solve engineer problems. We are very responsive to the initial MMIC products, and we are actively working on various developments with GaAs and GaN-on-SiC technology to expand our product range."

About Microsemi MMIC products

Microsemi's new MMIC products offer several differentiation advantages, including:

MMA001AA DC-20GHz wideband amplifier has a positive gain slope with a gain of over 17dB at 20GHz

MMS002AA single pole double throw switch with approximately 45dB isolation at DC-20GHz

The MMA016AA DC-15GHz amplifier features selectable power that allows customers to adjust power consumption to the needs of their specific application.
