Two subsystem reference designs, introduced by Maxim Integrated Products, integrate the benefits of IO-Link into a proximity sensor and a 16-channel digital-input hub. The MAXREFDES27# provides very accurate, low-power optical proximity sensing; while the MAXREFDES36# enhances distributed control with a compact digital-input hub.

Now engineers can mix and match 20 ADCs, 20 DACs or 20 High voltage digital I/O pins in any order using the MAX11300, the new mixed-signal PIXI technology from Maxim Integrated Products. Designers often work with application-specific devices that are neither flexible nor easy to program. The MAX11300 PIXI is the industry’s first configurable 20-channel, -10V to +10V high-voltage mixed-signal data converter.

Maxim Integrated Products has revealed that its lithium-ion (Li+) battery monitor is being used for the Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, a sport utility vehicle designed for the North American market. Maxim’s Li+ battery monitor provides self-diagnostics and robust daisy-chained data communications that easily handles the high-voltage requirements of the automotive industry.

The need for utilities and infrastructure providers to simultaneously and accurately measure distributed power grid data can now be met with Petaluma, a subsystem reference design from Maxim Integrated Products. Utility organisations worldwide are deploying more robust applications that require highly accurate distributed grid status data to leverage distributed generation technologies such as solar and wind power.

Suitable for industrial automation applications, designers can now add a high-accuracy, 4-channel analog output to their industrial automation designs with 33% fewer components than competitive designs by using the Alameda (MAXREFDES24#) subsystem reference design from Maxim Integrated.

The MAX11905 successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has been announced by Maxim Integrated Products. The company claims that engineers can achieve the industry’s highest resolution and fastest sampling rate at the lowest power with the 20-bit, 1.6Ms/s device.

The ZON M3 (MAX71315) single-phase electricity meter SoC from Maxim Integrated Products offers engineers a highly accurate, low-cost design system for e-meters and solid-state meters. Automotive Superior metering metrology is essential for accurate monitoring and billing. Additionally, meter manufacturers must consider cost in their designs, as millions of meters are being deployed throughout the globe.

The Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) SerDes chipsets, from Maxim Integrated Products, allow engineers to design high-resolution ADAS with either traditional STP or lighter, less expensive coax cables. Current vehicle designs use STP cables to drive data to automotive infotainment displays and cameras. 

Maxim Integrated’s Novato smart temperature-transmitter reference design transmits temperature measurement over -200 °C to +850 °C range with better than ±0.1 % accuracy. IT will enable factories to accurately measure and transmit industrial temperatures with the reference design, a 4–20mA loop-powered temperature transmitter with the HART communication protocol. Temperature is among the most widely measured parameters ...

Enabling factories to quickly configure and monitor multiple RGB light sensors, the Santa Cruz light sensor delivers the high accuracy required in industrial applications. Maxim Integrated Products, who have launched the product, claim that the Santa Cruz is the industry's smallest ambient light sensor.

Consuming just 25µA of quiescent current, the MAX16993 PMIC enables smaller, quieter, and more efficient automotive clusters. Maxim claim that, under no-load conditions, their product is the only 3-channel solution on the market today.

At Embedded World 2014, in Nuremberg, Germany (February 25-27), Maxim will be exhibiting their portfolio of highly integrated analog solutions which feature high integration for substantial savings in space, cost, energy, and time to market. The company will host interactive demo kiosks with embedded solutions for energy management, power management, and the signal-chain.

Zeus, the highly integrated smart meter system-on-a-chip from Maxim, won a 2013 Elektra European Electronics Industry Award. Zeus combines accurate metrology, multiple layers of security and a wide range of communication functions on a single chip.

Jamais auparavant les concepteurs n'avaient pu commercialiser leurs projets industriels aussi rapidement. Trois nouveaux modèles de référence à faible consommation, proposés par Maxim Integrated Products, Inc intègrent la chaîne signal de bout en bout, et simplifient ainsi l'automatisation industrielle.

Maxim has today announced three new low-power reference designs: Carmel, Monterey, and Fremont. Providing end-to-end integration of the signal chain, the new reference designs simplifying factory automation, enabling engineers been able to get their industrial designs to market quicker than ever before.

Indentifier et recharger par USB n'importe quel appareil portable, directement depuis la batterie d'un véhicule, est désormais possible, grâce à un circuit unique, le convertisseur DC-DC automobile à émulateur de charge USB, MAX16984, de Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
