Selecting DC-DC Step-Down Voltage Regulators For WiFi RF Power Amplifier Applications
11/14/2014
New 802.11ac RF PAs often pose a challenge to portable product designers, because the RF PA input supply range is no longer compatible with direct connection to a Li-Ion/poly battery supply voltage range. This means that a voltage regulator must now be employed.

High Gain Phototransistor Optocouplers For Space Applications
7/18/2013
One of the first optocouplers used for high reliability applications was the simple phototransistor optocoupler. The basic devices were the 4N22, 23, 24 and the 4N47, 48, 49 series of hermetic phototransistor optocouplers in TO‐five type transistor cans made for military applications developed in the early 1970s. However, these devices were never designed specifically for space radiation environments. By Steve Ching and Manor Narayanan, Isolink, a subsidiary of Skyworks Solutions, Inc.
