Mixed Signal/Analog

Housed in a small, cost-efficient wafer-level chip-scale package, this complete audio system includes an embedded DSP (running advanced algorithms for speaker boost and protection), a high-efficiency 2.65 W Class-D audio amplifier, and an intelligent DC-to-DC converter.

ADI has today announced the release of an integrated triple differential receiver and adjustable cable equalizer with the industry’s highest equalized bandwidth at 300 meters and the lowest power consumption. Designed for use in high-resolution analog video distribution systems, the AD8122 provides 60 MHz of equalized bandwidth, with a low 16-mV rms noise and a short settling time of only 70 ns to 1% at the maximum cable length of 300 meter...

Semtech has today announced the release of the SMI10022, its multiplexer device supporting 100 Gbps ultra-long-haul network applications. The SMI10022 is specifically designed to support soft-decision forward error correction, which enables a significant improvement in optical transmission reach for ultra-long-haul and submarine optical links.

Linear has unveiled the LTC6417, a fully differential buffer amplifier with only 1.5nV/√Hz output-referred noise. The LTC6417 is capable of driving a differential 50Ohm load and is optimized for driving 14- and 16-bit pipeline ADCs. It can be DC- or AC-coupled at its inputs, and achieves excellent distortion performance for signals up to and beyond 600MHz. At 140MHz, OIP3 is 46dBm, and HD3 is -69dBc with 2.4 VP-P output swing into a 50Ohm l...

ADI have today announced the introduction of two new multiplexers that are able to guarantee latch-up prevention in high-voltage industrial applications operating up to ±22 V. Latch-up, an undesirable high-current state that persists until the power supply is turned off, can lead to device failure.

Ideal for enterprise gateway applications such as session border controllers and IP PBX gateways, TI is offering developers a highly dense and scalable solution, including development software, delivering unprecedented system level power and cost efficiency.

ADI have unveiled a new low-power, single-lead, heart-rate monitor analog front end for a wide range of vital sign monitoring applications. The AD8232 AFE is 50 percent smaller and uses up to 20 percent less power than competing solutions. The resulting power, size and level of integration enable designers to develop heart rate and cardiac monitor devices for use outside of critical-care settings in areas such as personal health management and re...

TI has today announced the release of the industry’s first fully integrated analogue front end for both weight and body composition measurement. The AFE4300 is an easy-to-use, precision, low-power front end solution, which allows engineers designing weigh scales that incorporate body composition meters, body impedance analysers, and impedance measurement equipment to get their products to market faster than by implementing existing, more co...

ADI have today announced the release of the second series of quad 16- and 12-bit 3V/5V D/A converters in space-saving 16-lead LFCSP and TSSOP packages, AD5686 & AD5696. ADI have also today introduced the AD5316R and AD5317R quad 10-bit nanoDACs.

The TFA9887 IC from NXP has an amazing embedded algorithm which increases the output power of micro speakers by over 5 times, vastly improving the sound quality of mobile devices. By driving over 2.6 watts RMS into micro speakers that have previously been limited to 0.5 W, the NXP TFA9887 IC will give mobile phones, portable music players and tablets much louder sound, deeper bass, and higher sound quality – without risking speaker damage.
