TI battery charger for mobile phones, portable electronics
Texas Instruments has introduced today a 3-MHz, switch-mode battery charge management integrated circuit (IC) for portable electronics that can be charged from an adaptor or a USB port. The tiny 2 mm x 2 mm switching charger, the bq24150, significantly improves charge time, reduces power dissipation and cuts board space in half compared to typical implementation with linear chargers.
Six-Channel Power Management IC for Portables from TI
Texas Instruments has introduced a family of six-channel power management ICs for single-cell, lithium-powered portable electronics. Combining high-performance power building blocks in a single 4 mm x 4 mm package, the easy-to-design devices support power system requirements of advanced application processors used in smart phones, portable media players, navigation systems and other electronics.
Low-Power Gigabit Ethernet serializer/deserializer
Texas Instruments has today introduced the industry's smallest low-power, single-channel Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) serializer/deserializer (SerDes) device, enabling higher densities in data communications and telecommunications equipment. The new interface device combines a small 6-mm x 6-mm package with low power consumption at 200 mW to reduce board size and complexity and save power in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON), GbE switches/router...
Fairchild - Programmable LED Blinker Device Addresses the Design Challenge of Driving a Single-LED
Fairchild Semiconductor enables designers of mobile handsets, ultra-portable devices, consumer products and industrial/embedded systems to implement a blinking LED solution that can easily be programmed to create an enhanced visual experience. Fairchild’s programmable LED blinker, the FAN5646, eliminates the need for a microprocessor to be in continuous operation mode. With proprietary TinyWire single-wire digital interface, the FAN5646 can be ...
Fairchild Semiconductor’s 3.3x3.3mm2 Power Clip Asymmetric Dual MOSFET Helps Designers Achieve Highest Power Density and Efficiency in Power Supply Designs
As power requirements increase to provide more functionality in high-density embedded DC-DC power supplies, power engineers are challenged with providing higher power density and efficiency in less board space. Fairchild Semiconductor helps designers meet this system challenge with the introduction of the FDPC8011S, a 25V, 3.3x3.3mm2, low-profile Dual Power Clip Asymmetric N-Channel Module.
Microchip celebrates 50th anniversary
The microchip (integrated circuit / IC) yesterday celebrated its 50th birthday. Fairchild Semiconductor’s Robert Noyce received the first patent for a commercially available silicon IC on the 25th of April 1961.
Fairchild Semiconductor’s Integrated USB Switch Reduces Space and Optimizes Mobile Designs
Focusing on analog and power functions that enhance user satisfaction and market success, Fairchild Semiconductor offers mobile handset designers an auto-selecting Hi-Speed USB switch with an integrated cap-free headphone audio amplifier. The FSA2000 is an industry first, and reduces component count, board space and BOM cost.
Taiyo Yuden Announces Industry’s First 4.7µF MLCC in 0402 Case Size — One Device Provides the Capacitance of Two Typical 0402 Components
TAIYO YUDEN, INC., announces the mass production availability of its new AMK105BJ475MV multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) for decoupling power-line circuits in high-performance ICs used in cell phones, digital still cameras and other battery-powered portable electronics. The AMK105BJ is the first MLCC to achieve a capacitance rating of 4.7μF in the 1.0 × 0.5 × 0.5mm (EIA 0402) case size. The AMK105BJ allows designers to obtain the desire...
RF CMOS antenna switch has highest throw-count says Peregrine
