Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX7360, a key-switch controller featuring multiple key press/release detection on up to 64 keys, plus 8 extra GPIOs/LED drivers and advanced ESD protection. Individual key codes for each press and release are stored in a FIFO register to enable monitoring of multiple key-switch events.

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX17030/MAX17036, 3/2-phase, interleaved, step-down VID power-supply controllers supporting IMVP-6.5 notebook CPUs. Two integrated drivers support 2-phase standard voltage (SV) cores, while an optional external driver configuration supports 3-phase extreme edition (XE) cores. This unique feature provides greater design flexibility by allowing the MAX17030/MAX17036 to be used for both IMVP-6.5 XE and S...

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX14541E, a diode array that protects 3-channel data interfaces from ESD spikes up to ±15kV (Human Body Model). A low input capacitance of 6pF (typ) prevents signal distortion in high-speed applications.

Maxim has introduced the DS1843 fast sample-and-hold circuit in a 2mm x 2mm microDFN package. This device can capture signals of less than 300ns on its differential inputs and hold them at the output for up to 100microseconds.

Maxim has introduced the MAX8834, a 1.5A white-LED (WLED) flash driver IC in a tiny, 5mm2 wafer-level package (WLP). This device integrates an I2C interface, a 5V PWM DC-DC step-up converter, two high-current regulators for movie and flash lighting, and a low-current regulator for driving an indicator LED.

Maxim has introduced the MAX2839AS, a single-chip, 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz, WiMAX MIMO RF transceiver in a 3.5mm x 5.1mm WLP (wafer-level package). This device builds on the success of the MAX2839 (QFN package), enabling ultra-small WiMAX modules for compact fixed and mobile applications.
