Mouser has announced a new eBook in collaboration with Analog Devices (ADI) and Samtec, exploring the challenges and nuances involved in maintaining signal integrity in our connected world.
Between smartphones, computers and emerging fields like the IoT, nearly every device in our lives is interconnected in some capacity. In '13 Experts on Signal Integrity in Radio-Frequency and High-Frequency Designs', the companies address this by providing industry-leading components and design solutions. This eBook explores the importance of signal integrity in RF and high-frequency designs and offers solutions to meet the growing demands of modern electronics, particularly in mission-critical fields like medical and automotive. The eBook highlights many of the products the companies offer to allow customers to use both companies' design experience, enabling them to easily achieve high signal integrity and meet their system design requirements with adequate specification, margin, and reliability.
ADI's ADF4368 microwave wideband synthesiser offers clean, ultra-low jitter frequency synthesis from 800MHz to 12.8GHz. No internal doubler is required, eliminating the need for sub-harmonic filters, simplifying design, and reducing BOM costs.
ADI's ADL8112 LNA, available to order, provides broadband operation from 10MHz to 26.5GHz. Integrating an amplifier and two SP4T reflective switches permits multiple paths through the device. With the integration of power supply decoupling capacitors, minimal external power supply decoupling is needed.
ADI's ADPA7009-2 GaAs pHEMT MMIC power amplifier provides a gain of 17.5 dB, an output power for 1dB compression (OP1dB) of 28dBm, and a typical output third-order intercept (OIP3) of 34.5dBm at 20GHz to 35GHz. The RF input and outputs are internally matched and DC-blocked for easy integration into higher-level assemblies. Most of them typically require external passive components for operation to be integrated, facilitating a small, compact PCB footprint.
The Samtec AcceleRate HD ultra-dense mezzanine strips are super-dense micro interconnects with up to 240 total inputs/outputs (I/Os). These connectors are PCIe Gen 5 compatible, support 56Gbps PAM4 (28Gbps NRZ) applications, and feature an Edge Rate contact system optimised for signal integrity performance.
The SEARAY SEAF and SEAM connectors are high-density open-pin-field arrays. The open-pin design allows customers to simultaneously run differential pairs, single-ended signals, and power through the same 28+Gbps interconnect. SEARY's breakout region is simplified using Samtec's proprietary Differential Vias technology. This method allows wider routing channels with a 2:1 ground-to-via ratio, enhances signal integrity at high data rates, and lowers overall cost.
The HSEC8-RA high-speed edge card connectors feature Samtec's rugged Edge Rate contact system and were developed for signal integrity and multiple mating cycles. They offer superior impedance control, decreased broadside coupling (crosstalk), and a 1.2 mm contact wipe distance.
