With miniature 0402 package dimensions and no wirebonds, Avago Technologies' VMMK-2x03 amplifiers experience almost no signal loss and minimal parasitics, the company said.
Its ultra-small size and fully matched SMT design are optimized for 500 MHz to 12 GHz frequencies, making high-performance devices ideal to place in a variety of radio architectures.
The VMMK-2x03 leverages on Avago's recently announced WaferCap chip scale packaging (CSP) technology.
Measuring an ultra small 1mm x 0.5 mm x .25 mm, the VMMK-2x03 takes up 5 percent of the volume and uses only 10 percent of the board area of a standard SOT-343 package.
