Sige launches single-chip FEM with Bluetooth port
Sige Semiconductor
SE2600S front-end module
Sige Semiconductor has added the SE2600S high-performance, single-chip integrated front-end module (FEM) with a Bluetooth port to its wireless LAN and Bluetooth product range.
'We developed the SE2600S specifically to complement WLAN chipsets with integrated WLAN power amplifiers that target fast-growth WLAN-enabled mobile terminal applications,' said Sanjiv Shah, director of product marketing, Wimax and embedded WLAN at Sige.
The SE2600S is suitable for applications such as cellular handsets, digital cameras, personal media players, personal digital assistants and WLAN/Bluetooth combination modules for smartphones.
The device integrates a 2.4GHz SP3T switch and a low-noise amplifier with bypass mode in an ultra-compact CSP package.
It is capable of switching between WLAN RX, WLAN TX and Bluetooth modes.
The SE2600S features integrated DC blocking capacitors and a low Bluetooth port loss of only 0.5dB.
Its receiver provides 1.8dB noise figure and 12dB gain.
The SE2600S comes in a small-lead, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant 1.07 x 1.05 x 0.38mm CSP package.
This low-profile package height facilitates integration in WLAN modules.
The SE2600S is priced at USD0.35 (GBP0.21) in 10,000-piece quantities.
It is available now and is offered with applications documentation and evaluation boards.
