High-g accelerometers for passive safety applications SMA550, SMA560
The SMA550 and SMA560 are versatile accelerometers for automotive passive safety systems. They are typically used as central sensors in the airbag Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and measure the deceleration rate of a vehicle during a collision to activate restraint systems, such as front and side airbags or seatbelt tensioner. Other applications like shock monitoring are also possible.

Voltage Supervisors with More Pin Configuration Options
Catalyst Semiconductor has added to its range of voltage supervisors with four new devices that give designers industry-standard performance for monitoring the power supply (Vcc) status of a microprocessor, microcontroller, ASIC or other system processor.
16A Step Down DC/DC Regulator from Linear Technology
Linear Technology has introduced the LTM4616, a complete dual DC/DC uModule regulator system in a tiny surface mount package. The LTM4616 can regulate either two voltages ranging from 0.6V to 5V at up to 8A each, or one output voltage at up to 16A by sharing current from each output in a multi-phase configuration. The LTM4616’s versatility is extended by its ability to operate from either two different input supply rails ranging from 2.375V to ...
High Power Multiphase Step-Down DC/DC Controller Features Differential Remote Sensing, Active Voltage Positioning & Stage Shedding Technology
Linear Technology introduced the LTC3856, a two-phase single output high efficiency (up to 95%) synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with PolyPhase® operation, differential output voltage sensing and integrated phased-lock loop (PLL) synchronization. Up to 12 phases can be paralleled and clocked out of phase to minimize input and output filtering requirements for high current applications (up to 300A). The differential amplifier provides remo...
1A VLDO Outputs Down to 0.2V from 0.9V Input
Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3022, a 1A very low dropout linear regulator (VLDO™), featuring input voltage capability down to 0.9V and adjustable output voltage down to 0.2V. The LT3022's low VIN capability, coupled with the device's low dropout (145mV typical at full load), make it ideal for low-voltage, high current rails in digital ICs such as FPGAs, ASICs, DSPs, microprocessors and microcontrollers. It also has applications...
