Inphi logic ICs come in QFN plastic packages

Inphi Corp. has released a low-cost QFN plastic package version of its 13GHz high-speed digital logic devices with a 3mm? small form factor package. The HSL devices provide system manufacturers with sophisticated logic building blocks that offer enhanced functionality and higher levels of integration. For price sensitive higher volume optical equipment markets, the QFN family offers price reductions with volume.

Paul Washkewicz, VP of marketing, said, "The availability of our widely accepted HSL solutions in low-cost QFN plastic packages gives our customers an extensive competitive advantage in applications ranging from bench test and measurement equipment and ATE to broadband optical and narrow-band military communications."

All parts are also available on an evaluation board for testing purposes. Pricing for the plastic QFN products are up to 40 percent lower than the company's equivalent ceramic LGA devices.
