Mixed Signal/Analog

Mouser Electronics has announced it is now stocking the APDS-9700 miniature single-chip signal conditioning IC from Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial, and consumer applications.

Linear Technology has introduced a family of pin- and software-compatible 16- and 12-bit SAR ADCs (Analog-to-Digital Converters) that guarantee operation across the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. Operating from a single 5V supply, the 16-bit LTC1864/LTC1865 and 12-bit LTC1860/LTC1861 each draw only 850uA and are guaranteed for output rates up to 250ksps. The LTC1864 and LTC1860 are pin- and software-compatible ADCs that measure a...

Sundance has announced availability of its second generation, high performance SMT8121 communications development platform. The announcement coincides with a decision by the UK’s communications services regulator Ofcom to permit the use of mobile phones on aircraft. Passengers’ own mobile phone handsets will be able to connect to an on-board base station and access a range of communications services.

Intersil has announced the release of the ISL8120 Dual Output or Variable Phase PWM Controller. This PWM controller features proprietary current sharing technology that enables multiple versions of the chip to be used in parallel for a cost-efficient dual output or n-phase PWM controller solution that addresses a variety of specific design needs.

Intersil Corporation today announced the release of the ISL78100, a High Power Integrated LED Driver designed for display backlighting and body electronics applications. The ISL78100 is designed specifically to withstand harsh automotive environments.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC2302 and LTC2306, pin- and software-compatible 1-/2-channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADC). These ADCs communicate via an SPI-compatible serial interface at output rates up to 500ksps. The LTC2302 measures a single differential input channel, suitable for measuring bridge sensors.

Silicon Laboratories Inc has announced the Si2161 and Si2165 digital video demodulators, said to be the smallest, lowest power and highest performance demodulator solutions to support DVB-T, DVB-C and fixed reception DVB-H in a single chip. This represents the first in a new family of mixed-signal demodulators, tuners and receivers Silicon Laboratories is developing for digital and hybrid analog/digital fixed television equipment worldwide. The n...

Catalyst Semiconductor has added a new 32-tap device to its extensive family of Digitally Programmable Potentiometers (DPP). The CAT5128 is a volatile, single-pot device with a simple up/down control to provide an easy-to-use digital interface.

Texas Instruments has introduced a high-performance 16-bit, dual channel, 1 GSPS (giga sample per second) digital-to-analog converter family. The new single and dual-channel DAC family features a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data input port at 1 Gbps, providing up to 400 MHz signal bandwidth. In addition, the DAC family offers flexible configuration options as well as industry-leading tools and support to ease design and speed time t...

IDT has announced optimized PCIe Gen2-based timing solutions designed as companions to the industry leading IDT portfolio of PCIe-based switching solutions. The IDT 9FG104D generator can be driven with either a 14.318MHz or 25 MHz crystal to provide four PCIe Gen2 reference clocks. An eight output version (9FG108D) is available for larger applications such as servers. Both devices are not only Gen2 compliant, but are backward compatible to the ...
