MAX16072-74: Low-power microprocessor supervisory circuits in chip-scale package are ideal for portable equipment
Maxim introduced the MAX16072-MAX16074 microprocessor supervisory circuits in a 1mm x 1mm chip-scale package. These low-power devices provide excellent circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating the need for multiple external resistors and adjustments normally required when monitoring nominal system voltages from 1.8V to 3.6V. Their compact footprint and ultra-low supply current (0.7microamps) make them ideal for space-constrained portable a...
TacTouch haptic actuator controller integrates touch-pressure measurement for piezo and polymer actuators
Maxim introduced the MAX11836, a TacTouch haptic actuator controller for single-/multilayer piezo actuators and electroactive polymers (EAPs) in touch-enabled devices. Building on the success of the Company's MAX11835, the MAX11836 adds drive/sense circuitry for connecting up to four external force-sense resistors (FSRs) to measure touch pressure. Using FSRs with a capacitive touch-screen controller (C-TSC) helps avoid false touches and saves sys...
Omnipolar Hall switches from Diodes Inc
Diodes Incorporated has introduced two low voltage Omnipolar parts that substantially reduce power consumption in battery-powered, hand-held devices and dramatically simplify production processes. Uses include contact-less lid or display orientation and position detection tasks in notebooks, mobile phones, digital still cameras and camcorders.
