14-bit high-speed octal ADC will save space and power in portable medical products
Analog Devices' latest family of octal ADCs are ideal for portable medical devices and ultrasound machines where lower power consumption and smaller board space are critical design considerations. The 10-bit AD9212 and 12-bit AD9222 consume less than 100 mW per channel, yielding savings of as much as 5 to 6W when compared to competitive offerings in ultrasound systems containing up to 512 channels.
Analog Devices Introduces Industry's First Fully Isolated Industrial CAN Transceivers
Analog Devices has expanded its industry-leading isolated interface product portfolio with two transceivers that are the first to isolate both data signals and power for systems using the CAN (control-area network) communications bus. The ADM3052 and ADM3053 use ADI’s iCoupler digital isolation technology; the ADM3053 also includes an isoPower integrated, isolated dc-to-dc converter, reducing component count by up to 80 percent compared to ...
Analog Devices - Isolated DC-to-DC Converter
Analog Devices (ADI) is expanding its portfolio of digital isolation products with the industry’s smallest isolated dc-to-dc converter. Offering a 5-kV rms isolation rating in a 10-mm × 10-mm package, the ADuM6000 is a 0.5 watt device that integrates ADI’s proprietary iCoupler digital isolation technology and isoPower dc-to-dc converter. The new digital isolator allows designers to free up valuable circuit-board real estate while eliminating...

Multilayer chip coils could save 44% board space compared to wirewound parts
A monolithic chip coil series of power inductors from Murata, the LQM2HP series, features a package size of just 2.5 by 2.0 by 1.1mm (1008 size). These multilayer power inductors use Murata’s proprietary ceramic materials and innovative inner electrode design. They enable board space savings of up to 44% without performance degradation when compared to wirewound parts.
Murata begins mass production of Micro DC-DC converter device series which saves space and reduces noise
Murata has begun mass production of its new Micro DC-DC converter device series, which will reduce the board space used by buck converters in battery powered devices.
Murata low-profile capacitors reduces acoustic noise by up to 30dB
Murata's GJ8 series of multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) has been specifically developed to reduce acoustic noise in consumer and industrial electronics applications. Sound can be generated by the MLCCs at the input to the DC-DC converter in a notebook PC, or by capacitors in the control circuit of the LCD module in a mobile phone.
