Analog Devices introduced two low-quiescent-current LDOs (low-dropout linear regulators) that deliver outstanding supply-rejection performance to help battery-operated portable equipment run longer and more efficiently. The new ADP124 and ADP125 LDOs have excellent PSRR (power-supply-rejection ratio) performance of 60 dB at 100 kHz, which is twice that of the nearest competing LDOs, and achieve low noise of 35 µVrms (micro-volts per root me...

The growing popularity of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) is placing new emphasis on the need for battery management to monitor voltage levels and provide car makers with the means to reduce battery weight, size and cost. Because HEV batteries operate at high voltages of up to 600 V, isolation is required for safe and reliable operation. Analog Devices is addressing these needs by expanding its portfolio of AEC-Q100 products with the...

Analog Devices announced today that Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Mitsubishi Motors) has adopted ADI’s iCoupler digital isolators to develop a safe, reliable and efficient Li-ion battery power system for the next-generation EV, the “i-MiEV” all-electric vehicle. Mitsubishi Motors describes the vehicle as the ultimate eco-car that produces no CO2 emissions. Powered by 100 percent electrical power, the i-MiEV has a single-charge range of 160...

Analog Devices is introducing the industry’s first automotive grade products to provide true bidirectional isolation for the lower cost I2C serial bus. Based on ADI’s proprietary iCoupler® digital isolation technology, the ADuM1250W hot swappable, dual I2C digital isolator reduces board space by as much as 80 percent and greatly reduces the system cost associated with isolating I2C buses. This is accomplished by eliminating optocouplers a...

Analog Devices introduced today the ADMP441 iMEMS microphone, the industry’s first high-performance MEMS microphone with an I2S (Inter-IC Sound) digital output. The ADMP441 also features an extended frequency response from 100 Hz to 15 kHz, high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 61 dBA, and high PSRR (power-supply-rejection ratio) of 80 dBFS – features that have become the hallmarks of Analog Devices’ award-winning MEMS microphone ...

The AD5755 is a complete 16-Bit quad-channel control IC that integrates Analog Devices precision data conversion, signal conditioning and power management technologies.

Today’s fast-paced electronics design environment is placing a premium on the ability of engineers to rapidly adapt to changing customer product requirements without compromising quality, cost or time-to-market. The specialized nature of most product designs also means that engineers are in constant need of education and training resources that are comprehensive, easy-to-access and address real-world signal processing design challenges. Analog ...

Analog Devices has introduced two of the industry’s smallest and thinnest low-power transmitters to incorporate HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) version 1.4 specification support for 3-D display resolutions and extended colourimetry. With a 25 percent smaller footprint than competing offerings (only 3.45 mm x 3.45 mm x 0.505 mm), ADI's low-power transmitters --the 80 MHz ADV7525 and the 150 MHz ADV7526 --enable mobile device desi...

Analog Devices announced today the availability of the ADP1850 synchronous DC-to-DC switching controller that is easily configurable as dual output or interleaved two-phase controller for a wide range of high-current, high-efficiency applications. The ADP1850 offers more flexibility than other DC-to-DC controllers by providing a wider input voltage range of 2.75 V to 20 V, as well as easy configuration for dual-output (up to 2 x 25 A) or single i...

Analog Devices announced today that the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled decisively in favour of Analog Devices in its lawsuit against Knowles Electronics. Administrative Law Judge Robert K. Rogers, Jr. concluded that Knowles infringes valid claims from one of ADI’s Wafer Anti-Stiction Application (WASA) patents. Specifically, he ruled that Knowles infringes claims 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 from ADI’s U.S. Pat. No. 7,364,942. As a re...

The AD8207 high-voltage current sense amplifier is the first to deliver a max 1 uV/°C offset temperature drift while featuring negative common-mode voltage operation and high bandwidth. The AD8207 is suitable for a variety of PWM closed-loop current control systems.

Analog Devices' AD8475 is a fully differential, attenuating amplifier with integrated precision gain resistors.

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...

Analog Devices introduced a new highly integrated, high-performance RF detector for use in wireless, instrumentation, defense, and other broadband applications. ADI’s new ADL5511 TruPwr rms (root mean square) and envelope detector (an electronic circuit that takes a RF signal as input and provides an output that represents the envelope of the signal) offers a high level of integration and functionality by combining two RF functions into one...
