Guerrilla RF starts AEC-Q100 portfolio
The first two products to be AEC-Q100 certified will be the GRF2073, an ultra-low-noise, high gain LNA and the GRF4002 broadband LNA / linear driver. The extensive testing required for certification is expected to be completed for these devices by the end of Q3 2018. The GRF2012 high-linearity gain block will also be AEC-Q100 certified and is expected to be complete by the end of Q1 2019. Guerrilla RF anticipates additional growth and expansion for their automotive qualified product portfolio to meet expected demand. Having achieved ISO9001: 2015 certification in September 2017, today’s introduction of the AEC-Q100 portfolio exemplifies the company’s commitment to providing high- performance, high-quality products for the automotive industry.
With a tuning range of 3.0 to 6.0 GHz, the GRF2073 broadband, linear, ultra-low noise amplifier is designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure and other high performance RF applications requiring ultra-low NF, high gain and linearity. Configured as a first stage LNA, linear driver or cascaded gain block, GRF2073 offers high levels of reuse both within a design and across platforms.
The GRF4002 is a broadband low noise gain block designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure and other high performance applications. It exhibits outstanding broadband NF, linearity and return losses over 700 to 3800 MHz with a single match. It has a tuning range of 0.1 to 3.8 GHz. Configured as a first stage LNA, linear driver or cascaded gain block, GRF4002 offers high levels of reuse both within a design and across platforms. It is operated from a supply voltage (Vdd) of 1.8 to 5.0 V with a selectable Iddq range of 20 to 80 mA for optimal efficiency and linearity. The device is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output ports, needing only external DC blocks and a bias choke on the output.
The GRF2012 is a broadband gain block with low noise figure and industry leading linearity designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure and other high performance applications. It exhibits outstanding broadband NF, linearity and return losses over 700 to 3800 MHz with a single match 0.05 to 3.8 GHz. Configured as a linear driver or cascaded gain block, GRF2012 offers high levels of reuse both within a design and across platforms. The device is operated from a supply voltage of 2.7 to 5.0 V with a selectable Iddq range of 30 to 120 mA for optimal efficiency and linearity. GRF2012 is internally matched to 50 Ω at the input and output ports, needing only external DC blocks and a bias choke on the output.
“The launch of our AEC-Q100 catalog reaffirms our commitment to expanding our overall product portfolio to reach new markets and customers,” said Steven Smith, Vice President of Quality at Guerrilla RF. “Our supply chain has long proven their ability to manufacture products that meet the rigorous quality and performance requirements of the automotive market.”
“The growing trend toward wireless communications, within and between vehicles, is creating an ever- growing demand for high-performance RFICs that meet the stringent reliability standards of AEC-Q100 qualification testing,” continued Smith. “Adding an AEC-Q100 catalog is the next logical step in the growth of Guerrilla RF, and true to the company’s core principals of addressing underserved market spaces. We view this as yet another opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to delivering demanding solutions for our customers. We expect the automotive market to play a major part in our growth over the next several years and look forward to adding more parts to our automotive catalog.”
