Cavendish Kinetics Advantages

Cavendish Kinetics’s tunable RF solutions offer wireless device designers a number of important advantages, including:

• No need to trade off between performance, size, and power. CK’s tunable capacitors offer industry-leading RF performance along with the smallest size and lowest power of any tunable capacitor on the market.
• Tuning accuracy. Because the mechanical capacitors are tightly integrated with low-power CMOS control circuits, CK’s tunable capacitors offer unprecedented accuracy over a wide temperature range at full-rated RF power.
• Tuning precision and reliability. CK’s unique and patented technology significantly advances the previous state of the art for tuning precision and reliability, so wireless devices incorporating CK’s tunable capacitors perform better and last longer.
• Cost-efficient and consistent manufacturing process. Cavendish Kinetics used its own proprietary semiconductor manufacturing process that uses standard CMOS equipment and materials to create highly reliable structures that are built in a commercial CMOS foundry.
• Reliable manufacturing. Leveraging the industry’s investment in CMOS, the CK process takes advantage of the precision of thin-film deposition, which is key to CMOS circuit performance.
• Easy integration. The CK devices do not require a package and can be flip-chip mounted directly on antenna structures or inside multi-chip modules. Eliminating the package eliminates performance-destroying parasitics and produces even greater RF system performance.
