Murata launches world’s smallest 2.4 GHz balanced output filter for Texas Instruments wireless connectivity solutions

Murata today announced the LFB182G45BG2D280 balanced output matching filter, aimed at a broad range of 2.4 GHz wireless applications using ZigBee® and Bluetooth® low energy technologies. The new filter has been designed specifically for use with wireless connectivity system-on-chips (SoCs) from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), the CC253x and CC254x for ZigBee and Bluetooth technology networking respectively. Believed to be the world’s smallest filter available, Murata’s solution measures just 1.6 x 0.8 mm and incorporates all the necessary RF circuitry of a matching network, balun and filter within a single package. This tiny six-pin space saving device ensures board space, BOM count and engineering effort is kept to a minimum. Compared with a traditional inductor and capacitor design, the LFB module replaces 9 discrete 0402 components.

Murata releases new series of common mode choke coils supporting USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Signals

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Murata has released the DLP11TB series of 0504 chip common mode choke coils, which are designed to reduce undesirable radiation noise in electronic equipment. Murata's unique high-precision film inductor forming technology was mobilised to successfully attain an improved cut-off frequency in the transmission characteristics of these new choke coils compared with previous products. In the DLP11TB series, Murata has successfully boosted the cut-off frequency of the common mode choke coils to 8GHz or more, enabling USB3.0 SuperSpeed signals to be transmitted at more than satisfactory quality.

Murata launches low capacitance electrostatic discharge protection devices

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Murata introduces the LXES series of ceramic and silicon based ESD protection devices. Both types feature high suppression levels, high repetition durability and ultra-low capacitance for use in high speed data transmission environments. ESD protection devices are critical components in protecting sensitive circuits in electronic equipment such as mobile phones, notebook PCs and netbooks, digital cameras and other consumer devices from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Murata's SAW filter for Bluetooth and WiFi circuits simplifies designs and reduces bill of materials in mobile devices

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: The latest advances in Murata's filter technology have led to development of a new SAW filter whose high power capability means it can be used as a top filter, replacing two interstage filters with a single component. In addition, the filter's external matching circuit requires just two inductors. This overall reduction in component count minimises a design's bill of materials and will be of particular benefit to OEMs making wireless consumer devices such as mobile phones.

Murata reduces GIGAFIL RF filters' footprint by 72% for W-CDMA, LTE cellular basestations

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Two new block-type dielectric RF filters for telecoms basestation applications have been added to Murata's GIGAFIL range. The filters have been designed for cellular basestation applications which use a digital pre-distortion amplifier (DPD), as they feature a wide pass band and flat ripple performance, which are required for DPD PA design. The filter's small size (10.6 x 6.0 x 4.8mm) means they require 72% less mounting space compared to Murata's previous generation of filters for this application.

Murata’s latest EMI filter coil in 0504 packaging delivers high 6GHz cut-off frequency for HDMI A/V connectors

Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Murata has announced the latest addition to its EMIFIL range of tiny common mode choke coils, the DLP11SA900HL2. The coil is designed to minimise electromagnetic interference (EMI) in HDMI and similar high speed differential signal lines, and features a high 6GHz cut-off frequency, making it ideal for use in 1080p applications. Its small (1.25x1x.82mm) 0504 size case and industry leading specification enables board space to be freed up without degrading performance or signal integrity.
