Murata Collaborates With Silicon Labs On IoT Matching Device
September 8, 2015 | Murata AmericasEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Murata Americas today announced the availability of its LFD21891MMF3D931 high frequency matching device for use in sub-GHz 802.15.4 wireless Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Designed in collaboration with Silicon Labs and optimized for use with their Si4461 868 MHz wireless transceiver IC, this solution incorporates all the necessary components in an ultra compact package. Encapsulated in a low profile device measuring just 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.7 mm, the footprint is approximately 75 percent smaller than traditional discrete components.
As the demand for IoT functionality increases, so too does the need for engineers to be able to quickly integrate wireless connectivity into applications. This typically requires a high level of wireless circuitry design expertise. The transceiver coupled with this LFD21891MMF3D931 optimized matching device helps reduce the product design cycle, as well as the amount of required engineering resources.
"Murata is continually innovating to meet the varied and complex needs of IoT customers. Taking this into account, we offer a range of solutions - from the basic component building blocks to fully integrated hardware and software modules. The LFD21891MMF3D931 sits at the center of this range to deliver IoT functionality in a turnkey solution," said Scott Klettke, General Manager - RF Products, Murata Americas.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
From Construction Work to PCB Design in Under a Year
11/27/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineAt the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show in October, I had the opportunity to talk with some new PCB designers, including Jon Smith of Frontgrade Aethercomm. During the Anaheim show, John Watson, a PCB design instructor at Palomar College, led a panel of his past and present students, including Jon, who shared his story of switching from a construction career to PCB design in a matter of months, courtesy of Watson’s Palomar College design curriculum.
PCB Layout Rules of Thumb for Consideration
11/25/2024 | Patrick Davis, Cadence Design SystemsJust because a “rule of thumb” is usually based on experience instead of precise facts doesn’t negate its value. For instance, when I told my kids that a good rule of thumb was not to back-talk to their mother, they discovered very quickly how accurate my advice was once they crossed that line. There are a lot of rules of thumb that we rely on daily, including those that apply to PCB design.
HPC Customer Engages Sondrel for High End Chip Design
11/25/2024 | SondrelSondrel, a leading provider of ultra-complex custom chips, has announced that it has started front end, RTL design and verification work on a high-performance computing (HPC) chip project for a major new customer.
Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.
