Passive component design kit for IoT

14 June 2017 Passive Components

AVX has released a new IoT design kit. Comprised of a broad sampling of passive components ideally suited for use in the three primary IoT device networks – input voltage filtering and decoupling networks, timing device networks, and output impedance RF matching networks – the kit (part number KIT-IOT) allows engineers to quickly identify effective solutions for IoT devices with widely varying requirements for power, data processing speed, form factor and price, among other specifications.

The kit contains RF/microwave components, including: capacitors, inductors, circuit protection and SAW filters; input voltage filtering and decoupling devices, including: filter capacitors and low-profile power inductors; and small, high-precision crystal products, including: MHz crystal units, tuning fork crystal units, clock oscillators, temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs) and capacitors for crystal unit loading.

These RF/microwave components are especially well suited for use in telecommunications, GPS, WLAN and industrial/scientific/medical (ISM) band IoT applications, and also offer Modelithics highly accurate, substrate scalable equivalent circuit models, which help speed up design decisions and circuit level optimisations when used in combination with the industry’s leading electronic design automation tools.

The crystal components in the kit prove particularly useful in IoT applications that require tight frequency stability, including: clock management, microprocessor control units (MCUs), application processors and wireless applications, such as Bluetooth low energy (BLE), Wi-Fi and GPS.
