Mixed Signal/Analog

Analog Devices has introduced a dual-channel, 1.2-GSPS (giga-sample-per-second), 16-bit DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) that supports the high data rates and complex modulation schemes required for advanced multi-carrier wireless and broadband communications equipment throughout the world. According to ABI Research, global wireless infrastructure spending will reach $49 billion this year with Asia, South America, the Middle East and Africa as...

RS Components has announced the addition of over 1100 new devices into its range from Microchip Technology, a leading provider of microcontroller and analogue semiconductors. The increased offer means RS now has the most up-to-date range of Microchip microcontrollers and development kits available to design engineers direct-from-stock in Europe.

The Zetex ZXCZM800 multi-channel DAC and digital preamplifier from Diodes Incorporated is playing a key role in the world's first demonstration of the THX Big Room audio concept at CEDIA Expo 2009 in Atlanta USA. A new product design and certification concept introduced by THX Ltd., Big Room aims to bring professional audio quality and performance to prosumer amplifiers, pre-amplifiers and loud speakers used in large, multi-row media rooms and h...

Texas Instruments has introduced a four-channel, high-voltage, bipolar digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Developed on TI’s HPA07 analog CMOS process technology, the 16-bit DAC8734 is part of a new family of high-performance, bipolar DACs, including pin-compatible 12- and 14-bit family members featuring up to six times lower drift than competing devices along with the widest operating temperature range and the highest initial accuracy.

ON Semiconductor has introduced the AMIS-49587, the latest member of the company’s power line carrier (PLC) modem family. The AMIS-49587 provides a highly integrated, standard compliant, low power PLC solution for use in applications such as smart electric automatic meter reading and management, street lighting control, smart power plug and building automation. Utilizing ON Semiconductor’s mixed signal technology allows the AMIS-49587...

Maxim has introduced the DS4426, a low-cost, quad sink/source current DAC with tracking control. This device is an I2C-controlled, 7-bit current DAC with four output channels explicitly designed for power-supply margining and adjustment functions. Three of the DAC channels have additional circuitry to provide power-supply sequencing or tracking. Each output channel provides control of a DC-DC power supply by sinking or sourcing current directly i...

Texas Instruments has introduced a family of 16-bit ADCs packaged in a leadless QFN measuring 2.0 x 1.5 x 0.4 mm – 70 percent smaller than the nearest competition. In addition to significant system space savings, the ADS1115 family provides product options for scalable integration to reduce component count and simplify design.

Analog Devices has expanded its clock-product portfolio with the launch of the AD9552 oscillator frequency upconverter and the AD9547 clock synchronizer. Both products streamline system designs and reduce implementation complexity and cost while improving jitter performance.

SMSC, a leading semiconductor company that provides Smart Mixed-Signal Connectivity solutions, today announced the MPM85000, a low-cost, single-chip solution for power management of Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) devices. Seeing the need to eliminate several discrete electronic components, SMSC's MPM85000 combines all necessary peripheral functions to implement a MOST network interface such as diagnostics, status monitoring and power sup...

Intersil has introduced four triple analogue delay lines for video signals that provide crystal clear video images at distances up to 1000 feet (300 metres) for keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) applications such as in offices, banks, supermarkets or classrooms, or any video carried over long distances of inexpensive twisted-pair cable.
