AVX is Showcasing its Extensive Portfolio of Component Solutions for RF & Optical Communications at OFC 2020
Leading engineers from AVX & subsidiary American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC) will be on-site to promote an array of passive components optimized for RF & optical communications applications, including ultra-broadband & thin-film capacitors & resistors, thermal conductors, attenuators, & inductors
FOUNTAIN INN, S.C., March 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and antenna solutions, is showcasing an extensive range of passive component solutions for RF and optical communications applications at the 2020 (OFC), which will take place March 8–12 in San Diego, California.
Globally recognized as the leading international trade show for optical communications and networking professionals, OFC highlights the latest research, technologies, trends, and product solutions in data centers, network equipment and software, testing and manufacturing equipment, active and passive components, cable, fiber, and various other segments of the RF and optical communications industry. OFC 2020 features a comprehensive conference program replete with five full days of enriching technical sessions, workshops, exhibition, and special events and is expected to welcome more than 180 speakers, 700 exhibitors, and 15,000 attendees from 70 countries.
The AVX exhibit at OFC 2020 will focus on advanced passive component solutions engineered for evolving RF and optical networking and communications applications including next-generation data centers, 5G infrastructure, edge computing, smart cities, and V2X communication. Leading engineers from AVX and its subsidiary will be on-site to introduce attendees to the unique features and benefits of an array of high-performance ceramic, thin-film, and specialty components ranging from ultra-broadband and thin-film capacitors and resistors to thermal conductors, attenuators, and inductors.
Ceramic component highlights include the ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (0402/1005) , which feature a 125mW power rating, a wider frequency range than competing products, and AVX’s proprietary FLEXITERM® surface-mount technology (SMT) and provide optimal power, frequency, mechanical flexure, and temperature cycling performance in optoelectronic, broadband, automotive, telecom, and satellite communications applications. Its range of high-frequency, high-performance for broadband applications, which are available with or without borders and with dielectric constants ranging from 14 (NP0) to more than 30,000 (X7R), will also be on display.
AVX thin-film components on display at OFC include its , which have a novel metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure, copper traces for optimal circuit conductivity, and a wide range of capacitance values (0.3–50pF with a ±20% tolerance) and are developed using a high-frequency structure simulator to proactively address any electromagnetic challenges and provide the highest possible RF performance and reliability in high-frequency link and DC blocking applications in the UHF range (300MHz – 3GHz). Additional highlights include other , its , which offer unique solutions to complex circuit protection, voltage regulation, instrument matching, RF impedance, and circuit miniaturization challenges, and custom designed to deliver highly competitive performance in a wide range of broadband, telecommunications, optoelectronic, and RF applications, including various series of , , , and .
AVX’s OFC 2020 exhibit will also showcase its extensive range of specialty passive components, including the new and , both of which are manufactured with the highest quality materials to deliver reliable, repeatable performance in even the most demanding RF and optical communications applications. Constructed with aluminum nitride (AIN) or beryllium oxide (BeO), the Q-Bridge conductors exhibit high thermal conductivity, low thermal resistance and capacitance, and high reliability and provide cost-effective thermal management solutions in applications including GaN and RF power power amplifiers, filters, synthesizers, industrial computers, switch-mode power supplies, and pin and laser diodes. Featuring a thin-film design constructed of AIN, the AF Series SMT attenuators offer best-in-class power ratings (up to 1W); exhibit very stable characterisitics over temperature and time, even current distribution and accurate attenuation from DC to 20GHz, and virtually flat loss over a broad frequency spectrum; and are ideal for use in impedance matching, input padding, signal level tuning, and other critical RF applications.
Other passive component solutions on display at the AVX OFC 2020 exhibit include selections from AVX’s extensive range of , as well as ATC’s for broadband applications, , and , , and its . AVX and ATC will also highlight their range of , which offers a wide range of custom hybrid circuits and other uniue microelectronic, thin-film solutions designed to satisfy both the high-frequency and superior performance demands of optical market applications.
“OFC is the leading global conference and exhibition for the optical networking and communications industry, innovations in which are becoming ever-more critical as data demands steadily increase across market segments spanning telecom to automotive and industrial to transportation,” said Richard Eberhart, Director, Sales RFS North America at AVX. “AVX has participated in this illustrious event for several years now and is excited to exhibit alongside our colleagues from ATC at OFC 2020 and introduce attendees to our extensive array of advanced passive component technologies field-proven to provide high-reliability performance optimized for RF and optical communications applications.”
