Vishay Intros TSDF12830YS/32830YS MOSMIC Devices

March 14, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced the release of the first parts in a new family of dual-MOS Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MOSMIC®) devices that combine two MOSMIC amplifiers, one optimized for use in VHF applications and the other for UHF applications, and an integrated switch in the space-saving, industry-standard, SOT363 plastic package. The new TSDF12830YS and TSDF32830YS serve as cost-effective, high-volume solutions for applications, including AGC-controlled front-end amplifiers of digital and analog tuners in TVs, VCRs, set-top boxes, satellite systems, and other multimedia and communications equipment.

Each of the devices features two different MOSMIC amplifiers with common source and sate 2 leads. The first MOSMIC stage, which features a fully internal, self-biasing network-on-chip, is designed to provide for optimal cross-modulation performance and low noise figures at lower VHF frequencies. The second MOSMIC stage is intended to provide gain and noise figure performance at the higher frequencies of the UHF range. Both the TSDF12830YS and TSDF32830YS offer a high AGC range with a soft slope and a main AGC control range of 3 V to 0.5 V.

Samples and production quantities of the new dual-MOSMIC devices are available now with lead times of eight weeks for larger orders. Pricing for US delivery in 100,000-piece quantities starts at $10.00 per 100 pieces.
