Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) recently introduced the ADRV9009, the industry's widest-bandwidth RF transceiver to expand its award-winning RadioVerseTM technology and design ecosystem. The transceiver provides designers with a single radio platform to accelerate 5G deployments, support 2G/3G/4G coverage, and simplify phased array radar designs. The ADRV9009 RF transceiver provides twice the bandwidth of previous generation devices (200 MHz) and can replace up to 20 devices, reducing power consumption in half and reducing package size by 60%. With industry-leading performance and smaller size, weight, and power consumption, the ADRV9009 transceiver meets the stringent antenna densities and expanded network capacity requirements of emerging 5G wireless infrastructure equipment and aerospace systems.

Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) has announced the introduction of two wide input voltage synchronous SIMPLE SWITCHER® DC/DC step-down regulators in an ultra-compact Hot RodTM QFN package. The highly integrated 3ALMR33630 and 2A LMR33620 step-down converters have the industry's best full-load efficiency (92%) and are designed for demanding industrial power supplies that are demanding and reliable; at the same time, switching frequencies can be as high as 2.1 MHz. The use of these two converters in conjunction with TI's WEBENCH® power supply design tools not only simplifies power conversion, but also speeds up the design process.
