“Four-in-one” digital radio module from Frontier Silicon
Frontier Silicon has launched a “four-in-one” module capable of receiving Internet radio, DAB, FM and music streamed from a PC. The new module, called Venice 6, is the first product to integrate a WiFi, DAB, and FM front-end together with an on-board WiFi antenna in a single module. It enables audio manufacturers to easily produce low-cost, feature-rich, radios for the global market, bringing thousands of Internet radio stations and music s...
High-frequency optically isolated MOSFET gate drivers from Fairchild
Adding to its industry-leading power portfolio, Faqirchild has introduced the first in a new family of high-frequency optically isolated MOSFET gate drivers capable of driving up to 30A / 1200V in industrial applications. Exhibiting a 200ns (max) rise/fall time rate, the FOD3180 (2A) and FOD3181 (0.5A) quickly turn the power MOSFET on and off to limit power dissipation.
Multichannel digital-to-analog converters
Analog Devices has introduced what is said to be the industry’s smallest and most flexible, multichannel digital-to-analog converters. Ideal for designers needing flexibility when specifying converters for high-voltage applications, such as factory process control, instrumentation and dc set-point-control applications, the offering includes 12 converters ranging from 12- to 16-bit dual and quad channel devices operating over a wide voltage ran...
