Global distribution agreement with mixed-signal telecoms IC specialist

29-01-2020 | Mouser Electronics | Semiconductors

Mouser has signed a global distribution agreement with CML Microcircuits. Offering a complete product line-up that incorporates all aspects of a wireless voice and data system design, the company's devices comprise RF transceivers, analogue front ends, baseband processing and application-specific microcontrollers.

The company’s CMX901 and CMX902 devices are three-stage wideband, high-gain, and high-efficiency RF power amplifier ICs. Providing a high power gain up to 40dB and up to 60% power efficiency, they are excellent for VHF and low UHF radio applications, including data modules, marine VHF communications, and RF transmitters. They are also ideal for use in wireless-based IIOT systems.

Mouser now stocks four series of the company's receiver ICs, including the CMX994 direct conversion receiver. The CMX994 receiver ICs include PowerTrade, which gives the ability to dynamically choose power consumption versus performance modes to optimise operating trade-offs. The CMX994A and CMX994E models offer extended operation of 50MHz to 1218MHz, while the CMX994G provides guaranteed down-converter performance to 30MHz.

Also offered is the CMX7164, a multi-mode wireless data modem that supports multiple modulation schemes and coding systems, all configurable under host control with no external codecs or DSP processing needed.

The SCT2400, also available, is a highly integrated digital radio transceiver based on spread spectrum modulation operating in the 2.4GHz ISM frequency range. The device’s low power consumption and security features make it perfect for portable, mobile, and wearable products such as fitness trackers, smart clothing, and wireless headsets.
