Maxim announced the creation of highly integrated Power System-on-Chip (Power SoC) devices. These new products integrate power management and mixed-signal functions such as digital audio, a high-speed interface, and a touch-screen controller on a single chip to enable high performance, as well as thinner and smaller form factors in smartphones, tablets, and e-readers.

Maxim introduced the MAX4952B, a dual-channel buffer designed to redrive SAS/eSATA/SATA signals at speeds up to 6.0Gbps on both the transmit and receive channels. This device preserves signal integrity at the receiver by reestablishing full output levels, and it can reduce total system jitter (TJ) by squaring the signal.

Maxim introduces the MAX19993, a fully integrated, 1200MHz to 1700MHz, dual, downconverting mixer with an on-chip LO switch, buffer, and splitter. Designed using Maxim's proprietary SiGe process, this device delivers outstanding linearity and noise performance. Offering exceptional levels of component integration, this single monolithic IC provides two independent downconversion channels, each with a +27dBm (typ) IIP3, 6.4dB (typ) conversion ga...

Maxim introduced the MAX2062, the industry's only fully programmable, multistate, dual-channel, analog + digital IF/RF variable-gain amplifier (VGA). This easy-to-control device delivers an unparalleled combination of VGA performance, programmability, and component integration. As with its predecessor, the single-channel MAX2065, the MAX2062 provides unique rapid-fire gain selection for four customized attenuation states per path, fast 25ns digi...

10Gbps rack-to-rack copper interconnects of up to 30 metres have been demonstrated by UK chip-maker Phyworks, using technology it originally developed for the optical module market. The equalisation and clock and data recovery (CDR) capabilities of its PHY2060 IC have been successfully applied to active serial copper cable assemblies which are currently being trialled by cable and connector OEMs. The complete 10G assembly achieves error free tr...

Phyworks has launched a highly integrated laser driver and limiting amplifier IC for small form factor optical modules operating between 125Mbps and 1.25Gbps. The first device of its kind to be offered at $1 in volume, the PHY1040 is also the first to support both VCSEL and continuous mode DFB and FP lasers for DDM and non-DDM applications.

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX11645, the industry’s smallest 2-channel ADC. This 12-bit I2C ADC includes an internal reference in a tiny 1.9mm x 2.2mm wafer-level package (WLP). A 4 x 3 bump array with 0.5mm pitch facilitates layout on four-layer PCBs, while a slim 0.64mm height makes it perfect for designs laying components out on both sides of the PCB. This ADC minimizes both external component count and total solution size, onl...

The ZXGD3005E6 10 Amp gate driver from Diodes Incorporated has been designed to ensure ultra fast switching of power MOSFET and IGBT loads in power supply, solar inverter and motor drive circuits. With its emitter follower configuration delivering propagation delay times of less than 10ns and rise and fall times of less than 20ns, this non inverting gate driver will reduce switching losses, simplify circuit design and improve overall system reli...

Semtech has announced the RClamp0524S, the first circuit protection device with an advanced split-pad transient voltage suppression architecture designed to protect Power Over Ethernet (POE) interfaces from electrical surges and transients.

Semtech Corp. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, has expanded its ultra-low power capacitive touch sensor ICs with a new platform of enhanced proximity sensing devices.
