LAFOX, Ill. -- Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for the newest additions to the family of GaAs pHEMT digital phase shifters from M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech). The MAPS-010145 and MAPS-010165 are, respectively, 4- and 6-bit packaged devices that maintain low phase error and minimal attenuation variation over the full 360-degrees and 3.5-6 GHz frequency range.
Both new devices feature a built-in CMOS driver in a 4mm, 24-lead PQFN surface mount package that allows for serial or parallel control and low power consumption. The devices are targeted for communication antennas and phased array radar applications, making them excellent candidates for commercial weather radar applications and military ground based distance measuring radar applications.
Additional key features of the 4-bit MAPS-010145 Digital Phase Shifter include:
3.5-6.0 GHz Frequency Range
5.0 dB Insertion Loss (any phase state)
360° Coverage with LSB = 22.5°
Low DC Power Consumption
Minimal (+/- 1.0 dB) Attenuation Variation over Phase Shift Range
50 Ù Impedance
EAR99
Lead-Free 4 mm 24-Lead PQFN Package
RoHS* Compliant
Additional key features of the 6-bit MAPS-010165 Digital Phase Shifter include:
3.5-6.0 GHz Frequency Range
5.5 dB Insertion Loss (any phase state)
360° Coverage with LSB = 5.6°
Low DC Power Consumption
Minimal (+/- 0.8 dB all states) Attenuation Variation over Phase Shift Range
50 Ù Impedance
EAR99
Lead-Free 4 mm 24-Lead PQFN Package
RoHS* Compliant
Common configurations are in stock and available for immediate delivery.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
