This White Paper describes different trade-offs, design options, and implementation of a sub 1 dB low NF (~ 0.6 dB), high gain (> 20 dB), and very high linearity (> +34 dBm) two-stage LNA.
The SKY65040-360LF LNA maintains a very low NF up to 2.5 GHz and an excellent 3rd Order Output Intercept Point (OIP3). The...
This white paper focuses on isolated digital interfaces conforming to RS-485, which continues to be the industry’s workhorse standard for data transmission. The paper provides an overview of RS-485’s common-mode voltage range (CMVR) definition, and explains how isolating a transceiver’s signal and...
