STMicroelectronics ST60A3H1 V-Band Connectivity Transceivers
STMicroelectronics ST60A3H1 V-Band Connectivity Transceiver is an RF millimeter-wave transceiver product with a dual-linear polarization integrated antenna, operating in the 60GHz V-band from 60GHz to 61GHz. The ST60A3H1 has a miniature form factor, low-power operation, and an optimized bill of materials (BOM). The ST60A3H1 is a high-speed RF transceiver compliant with eUSB2, UART, and I2C protocols. The transceiver module contains general-purpose input/output (GPIO) that are also available in tunneling mode. The STMicroelectronics ST60A3H1 meets the requirements of various applications due to the device's compactness, low-power operation, ease of use, and innovative architecture design, which optimizes the system bill of materials.
