STMicroelectronics' portfolio of IPAD, IPD, and smart antenna tuners integrates components and functions. These include ESD protection, EMI and common-mode filtering, line terminations, high-value capacitances, integrated RF passives with couplers, high- or low-band filters, baluns, diplexers, and LTE band tuning with high-quality factor, RF tunable capacitors.
These devices are intended for applications such as mobile devices, set-top boxes, automotive entertainment, portable medical equipment, and smart metering.
STMicroelectronics' advanced semiconductor technology reduces the space required on PCBs. By integrating in a single package the matching filtering and protection functions usually implemented with discrete components, ST provides the flexibility to expand the number of functionalities of the end product or to create a smaller device. ST's integrated passive devices (IPDs) for RF applications, ECMF™ series for high-speed lines, and ESD suppressors housed in micro-packages provide the highest level of integration. One of the latest advanced devices joining ST's micro-package families is the world's smallest, single-line TVS, the ESDAVLC6-1BV2, in a 01005 surface-mount package to protect sensitive circuitry against voltage surges.
