NXP has announced that its secure contactless microcontroller chip – SmartMX, has been selected by the VDV-Kernapplikations GmbH & Co. KG, to power future electronic transport ticketing schemes in Germany. Alongside card and inlay-manufacturer Cardag, NXP will provide SmartMX ICs for around eight million contactless cards to be issued throughout Germany by 2012. The aim of the scheme is to provide a single ticketing solution that will be used a...

Maxim introduces the MAX2992, an OFDM-based powerline communication (PLC) modem that pairs with the MAX2991 analog front-end (AFE) to provide a complete PLC chipset for smart grid communications. This chipset complies with the emerging IEEE P1901.2 standard for OFDM-based communication over power lines and offers guaranteed interoperability. This standards compliance is critical to enabling smart grid deployments, as it helps utilities safeguard...

Maxim has introduced the MAX3799, a single-chip VCSEL driver and dual-path limiting-amplifier solution targeted at SFP+ Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. Fabricated using Maxim's MBiC3 IC technology, this device delivers up to 14Gbps performance, a wide range of programmable receiver and transmitter features, and only 320mW of power consumption. Packing the functions of two chips into one, the MAX3799 provides a low-cost, low-power solutio...

Maxim has introduced the MAX2557/MAX2597, a WCDMA Band II and Band V femto base-station transceiver chipset with a unique digital interface for the North American UMTS market. The receiver (MAX2557) and transmitter (MAX2597) utilize Maxim's proprietary high dynamic range MAX-PHY(TM) interface to eliminate the need for a mixed-signal analog front-end. The MAX2557 has four low-noise amplifier (LNA) inputs to allow monitoring of WCDMA and GSM macro-...

Maxim has introduced the MAX3798, a single-chip, VCSEL driver and limiting-amplifier solution targeted for SFP+ Fibre Channel and Ethernet applications. Fabricated using Maxim's MBIC3 integrated-circuit technology, this device delivers > 10Gbps performance, a wide range of receiver- and transmitter-programmable features, and only 320mW of power consumption. Packing the functions of two chips into one, the MAX3798 provides a low-cost, low-power so...

Maxim has introduced a chipset, the MAXQ3108 and DS8102, that reduces the bill of materials (BOM) cost of a polyphase energy meter. Together, the MAXQ3108 and DS8102 replace three high-cost current transformers with three low-cost shunts to save both cost and space.
