Varisys - IEEE1386 compatible PMC
VM1553 is an IEEE1386 compatible PMC offering up to four channels of STANAG 3838 or MIL-STD-1553 compatible connectivity. The VM1553’s compact, modular form factor gives it many uses for embedded solutions in both air and conduction cooled environments and, combined with a Varisys PMC carrier can be easily used in a laboratory.
VGA Port Protector Integrates Level Shifting, Buffering, and ESD Protection
Maxim has introduced the MAX4895E, a complete VGA port protector IC designed to interface between a video graphics controller and VGA port connector. This device integrates HSYNC/VSYNC level-shifting buffers to ensure full compatibility with VESA VSIS specifications. Additionally, it includes robust ESD protection on all seven VGA video outputs. This high level of integration allows the MAX4895E to eliminate the need for the multiple analog and p...
Phyworks 10G CMOS transceiver is first to integrate temperature sensor and diagnostic reporting
Phyworks has introduced the first single chip transceiver in CMOS to offer an integrated ±3°C temperature sensor and diagnostic reporting. Designed for 10GBASE-SR and 1G to 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ optical applications, the PHY3070 can be used with an external junction-temperature monitoring transistor to improve module temperature sensing accuracy. This reduces measurement variance due to the influence of IC temperature.
Analog Devices Delivers Breakthrough Radio Frequency Circuits for 4G Cellular Base Stations
Analog Devices has introduced a series of highly integrated RFICs (radio frequency integrated circuits) designed for LTE and 4th generation (4G) cellular base stations. LTE is a set of enhancements to the UMTS (universal mobile telecommunications system) standard and is considered to be the last step toward the 4th generation of radio technologies in cellular networks.
