Microchip annonce le lancement d’une famille de composants EEPROM série dotés d’un numéro de série 32 bits unique préprogrammé pour les clients nécessitant des identifiants uniques dans leurs applications. Pour les applications ayant besoin d’un identifiant unique supérieur à 32 bits, l’identifiant peut être étendu à 48, 64, 96 ou 128 bits, ou à toute autre longueur, en augmentant le nombre d’octets lus par la mémoire. Ét...

Microchip Technology Inc today announced a new nine-member low-power, general-purpose operational amplifier (op amp) family—the MCP647X/8X/9X. These op amps provide among the industry’s best power consumption for a given gain-bandwidth product, including low quiescent current, to extend battery lifetimes. Additionally, they have exceptionally low leakage current over temperature, up to 125°C, which reduces errors in applications such as se...
