Semiconductor Industry Leaders Form DA5 Consortium to Explore Lead-Free Solutions
Bosch (Division Automotive Electronics), Freescale Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors and STMicroelectronics today announced that they have formed a consortium to jointly investigate and standardize the acceptance of alternatives for high-lead solder for attaching die to semiconductor packages during manufacturing. The five company consortium is known as the DA5 (Die Attach 5).
Imagination Technologies brings its PURE radio brand to the US
Imagination Technologies today announced that digital and internet-connected radios from its PURE division will soon be available in the United States. Details regarding specific product lines, as well as pricing and expected availability, were revealed in a separate announcement from PURE and are being showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (South Hall 4 Booth #36604).
Highly accurate, 8-channel temperature sensor reduces board area
Maxim introduced the MAX6581, a ±1 degree Celsius accurate, 8-channel temperature sensor. It has seven remote sensing channels to monitor ASICs, FPGAs, CPUs, and boards with multiple hot spots. Each remote channel includes series resistance cancellation and beta compensation for best accuracy. Because the MAX6581 contains eight channels of temperature sensing, but requires only a single I2C address for these eight channels, it reduces board area...
Maxim enters the optical sensor market with the industry's highest performance ambient-light sensor
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX9635, a fully integrated digital ambient-light sensor (ALS) with a unique adaptive gain block. Designed using the Company's proprietary BiCMOS technology, this device integrates two photodiodes, an ADC, and all necessary digital functionality into a tiny 2mm x 2mm package. This integrated solution saves valuable space in tight enclosures while delivering the industry's highest performance. The MAX9635 c...
Video Filter Amplifier Enables SD Video Playback from Portable Devices to Any TV
Maxim has introduced the MAX9519, the industry's smallest, lowest pin-count video filter amplifier for standard-definition video connections from portable devices to TVs. Packaged in a 1mm x 1mm, 4-bump UCSP, this device features Maxim's proprietary SmartSleep technology, which reduces current consumption to 1microamp in shutdown mode and eliminates the need for external shutdown circuitry. The MAX9519 is ideal for low-power, space-constrained p...
Highly Integrated, Quad/Dual Digital Pulsers Utilize Active Clamping to Enhance Ultrasound Imaging
Maxim has introducesdthe MAX4940/MAX4940A quad/dual, high-voltage digital pulsers. Providing 2.0A (typ) of output current, these devices can be independently configured to enable unipolar or bipolar pulsing in high-voltage systems from low-voltage logic inputs. Two logic inputs per channel and one independent enable input ensure that the output MOSFETs are turned off to speed ramp times and minimize delays between pulsing modes. To improve image ...
LED driver slashes backlighting costs in LCD TVs, monitors, and automotive displays
Maxim has introduced the MAX16814, a highly integrated four-string HB (high-brightness) LED driver capable of delivering up to 150mA per string. This device packs in all the features necessary to implement a high-performance backlight driver for LCD TVs, monitors, and automotive displays. Through this integration, the MAX16814 gives designers a cost-effective solution that greatly simplifies their lighting designs while offering unmatched perform...
MAX17120/21: Fully integrated, high-voltage scan drivers minimize panel cost in LCD HDTVs
Maxim introduced the MAX17120/MAX17121, triple/dual, high-voltage, level-shifting scan drivers for TFT panels with integrated gate logic. These devices minimize panel cost in LCD TVs by integrating all logic required to implement a high-performance scan-driver system. Each scan driver has two channels that switch complementarily. Their outputs swing from +40V to -30V and can swiftly drive capacitive loads. In order to save power, these complement...
Silicon tuner eliminates spurs in analog and digital TV reception
Maxim just introduced the MAX3543, a broadband, multistandard silicon tuner for worldwide hybrid TVs, as well as terrestrial and cable set-top boxes. Developed using Maxim's high-performance BiCMOS process technology, this device offers best-in-class tuner performance using a standard IF architecture that ensures < -70dBc spurs. With the MAX3543, customers can use a single silicon pinout for all major worldwide television standards.
