Damage Resistance of FiberTech Fibers for High Power Laser Applications
In cooperation with the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing in Berlin, FiberTech optical fibres were characterized with respect to their damage resistance against high-power laser radiation.
Analog Devices Introduces Compact Buck-Boost Regulators
Analog Devices has introduced one of the industry’s smallest buck-boost regulators—and the first to support switching frequencies at speeds up to 2.5 MHz. Designed to regulate voltages above and below the battery output voltage in portable electronics, ADI’s ADP2503 and ADP2504 step-up/step-down dc-to-dc regulators incorporate a patent-pending architecture that delivers seamless mode transitions. The ultra-fast switching speed of the new r...
Analog Devices launches Linear Regulator Family
Analog Devices has introduced a family of high-performance LDO (low dropout) regulators that generates the low noise, low voltage supply rails and extended battery life required for superior performance in mobile handsets and other battery-powered devices. The ADP120 and ADP121 LDOs are available in the industry’s smallest wafer-level chip scale package (WLCSP), as well as a standard TSOT (thin, small-outline transistor) option, offering design...
ADCs Simplify Power-Line-Monitoring System Design for Substation Control
Analog Devices has introduced simultaneous-sampling ADCs that simplify the design of next-generation power-line-monitoring systems. The need for more efficient utility substations and “smart grid” management is growing as worldwide electricity demand increases. Electric utility companies need power-line-monitoring systems to monitor and control energy consumption, cost, and quality, as well as to protect expensive equipment from power surges...
