Solutions for the output impedance matching networks of IoT RF antennas represented in the kit include:
- U Series Ultra Low ESR RF/Microwave C0G (NP0) Chip Capacitors
- LCMC Series Multilayer Ceramic Chip Inductors
- AntennaGuard Sub pF Varistors (SPVs)
- SAW Filters and Duplexers
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 optimizations when used in combination with the industry’s leading electronic design automation tools.
The crystal components in the Passive IoT Design 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), WIFI, and GPS. Additionally, since Kyocera is the only company with a vertical, in-house supply chain of synthetic quartz crystals, crystal units, and ceramic packages, and AVX is a member of the Kyocera group, these products also deliver extremely competitive ROI. Timing device network solutions represented in the Passive IoT Design Kit include:
- CX2016DB Series Ultraminiature, Low-Profile SMT Crystal Units
- ST3215SB Series Ultra-Small, Low-Profile kHz Range Tuning Fork Crystal Devices
- U Series Low ESR, Tight-Tolerance C0G (NP0) Capacitors for Crystal Unit Loading.
