RedBox Regulator Kits

Crystek's new RedBox Series Regulators offer DC Voltage Regulation integrated in a rugged connectorized SMA housing. Simply connect the 6VDC wall adapter to the input using the adapter cable and it will provide a clean dual regulated 250mA DC output at the specified voltage. RedBox Series Regulators are perfect for Lab use when a dual DC output power supply is required. Available off the shelf in 1.8/2.5VDC and 3.3/5.0VDC

The Regulators are offered from Digi-Key in a kit that includes all items required to provide a DC power supply solution.

RedBox Amplifier

Crystek continues to enhance its product portfolio with the release of the RedBox Amplifier. Crystek's model CRBAMP-100-6000 is a low-noise general purpose connectorized amplifier covering a frequency range of 100MHz to 6GHz. The amplifier is housed in a custom aluminum enclosure (1.25" x 1.25" x 0.59") with 3 SMA connectors for both input and output as well as the power supply input. The unit operates from a single +5V supply consuming only 60mA.

This broadband, low-noise amplifier has a small signal gain of 18dB with an output power of 17dBm (P1dB). It features a typical noise figure of 3.5dB with an IP3 of +30dBm.

Applications include IF or RF buffer amplifiers, base stations, high reliability applications and general lab use for in-house testing.
