1A Step-Down DC/DC Converter and Two 300mA VLDO Regulators in a single IC
Linear Technology has announced the LTC3446, a 1A, 2.25 MHz, synchronous buck regulator with two 300mA VLDOs in a single monolithic IC. The input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V makes this triple output regulator ideal for single cell Li-Ion/Polymer, or multicell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH powered applications. It can generate output voltages as low as 0.8V from the buck regulator and 0.4V for each of the VLDOs, enabling it to power the latest generation ...
Front-Ends and Rectifiers provide up to 650W and power density of 11.2W/in³
UNIPOWER has announced additions to its Sigma Series of hot-swap front-ends and rectifiers. The new models, now rated at up to 650W, have the same 1U x 2U profile (40.6 x 83.8mm) and are only 279mm long. They also incorporate a number of features designed to make the power sources easy to use and easy to monitor, particularly when used with the customer friendly 19” shelf. At just 0.95Kg (2.05lbs ), they are also among the lightest units ava...

Analog Devices’ dual-channel AD8376 VGA (variable gain amplifier) and AD6655 IF diversity receiver solution replaces 48 discrete components, enabling 3G micro- and pico-cell base s...
Analog Devices expands its Blackfin processor family
Analog Devices is expanding its Blackfin line with the ADSP-BF52x family, a scalable series of processors optimised for performance-demanding portable applications including portable media players (PMPs), voice over IP (VoIP) phones, IP cameras, and mobile TV devices. Advancing the Dynamic Power Management capabilities of Blackfin to achieve the line's best power efficiency yet (as low as 0.16mW/MHz core power at 250MHz) these newest processors ...
LED driver is said to increase power density
Providing an adjustable output current of 1A from a SOT23 package, the ZXLD1360 LED driver from Zetex Semiconductors offers higher power density than alternative and much larger SO8 devices. A buck regulator device, it operates over a supply range of 7V to 30V and is capable of handling up to 24W of output power in a wide range of high power LED illumination applications. Achieving up to 95% efficiency, this LED driver’s thermally enhanced con...
Waterproof RF Connectors from Intelliconnect
