ST60A2G0C1D7GYO-STMicroelectronics-Price, Stock & Datasheet

The ST60A2 is an RF millimeter-wave transceiver product operating in the 60 GHz V-Band. It provides a very power efficient and high data-rate wireless link enabling freedom from physical cables and connectors for short-range (a few cm) point-to-point communications, using a variety of external antennas (such as patch antennas designed on PCB or highly directive SMT horn antennas allowing both end-fire and broadside radiation patterns).

The ST60A2 offers best-in-class wireless performance with transfer speeds up to 6.25 Gbit/s, along with very low power consumption. Its unmatched efficiency, very small form factor, and innovative architecture designed for optimized system bill of materials, make it ideally suited for a wide range of applications including personal electronics, industrial, computer, and peripherals.
