Maxim introduced the MAX9622, a precision operational amplifier with high gain bandwidth. This op amp employs a unique autotrimming technique to precisely calibrate the input-offset voltage (Vos) on power-up. This approach enables the device to achieve a Vos of only 100microvolts (max) to allow the use of a small sense resistor, thus improving system efficiency by reducing sense resistor power consumption. The MAX9622 is well suited for active f...

Maxim introduces the MAX2664/MAX2665 low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) designed specifically for UHF and VHF mobile TV applications. These devices offer a fully integrated LNA solution in a 0.86mm x 0.86mm, 0.4mm-pitch wafer-level package (WLP) with only four pins. Only requiring one external component (an input-match inductor) to complete the board-level design, the MAX2664/MAX2665 minimize solution footprint for today's continually shrinking handhel...
