Common Mode Chokes
Coilcraft’s new Cx Family of surface-mount common mode chokes includes 16 sizes/configurations for a broad range of power line circuits. They suppress high frequency common mode noise up to 100 MHz and offer greater than 40 dB common mode attenuation, making them ideal for use in consumer electronics and industrial applications.
All Cx Family EMI chokes feature a low-profile, toroidal construction in a surface-mount, magnetically-shielded package with footprints as small as 13 x 13 mm. They are available with current ratings up to 10 Amps (Irms) and provide 1000/1500 Vrms isolation (hipot) between windings. They feature RoHS-compliant tin-silver-copper over tin over nickel over phos bronze terminations and withstand a maximum reflow temperature of 260°C.

Power Module
Richardson RFPD announced availability and full design support for a new silicon carbide module from Wolfspeed. Wolfspeed developed the XM3 power module platform to maximize the benefits of SiC, while keeping the module and system design robust, simple and cost-effective. With half the weight and volume of a standard 62 mm module, the CAB450M12XM3 maximizes power density while minimizing loop inductance and enabling simple power bussing. It is the first part to be launched in the XM3 module platform, with additional offerings to be released in the future.

26.5 GHz RF Downconverter
The SC5318A is a C to K broadband single-stage downconverter, converting frequencies from 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz down to 50 MHz to 3 GHz. The LO frequency range is from 6 to 26.5 GHz with an input LO range from 6 to 14 GHz. An internal frequency doubler multiplies the input LO range up to 26.5 GHz. This module also features an internal 26.5 GHz synthesized LO, RF preamplifier, and variable gain control, making it a compact, standalone downconverter module. The SC5318A can be combined with SignalCore’s SC5308A to form a broadband 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz downconverter. These high-performance converter modules are compact and rugged, built for easy integration into large systems.
