During TRUSTECH 2017 in Cannes, France (28th to 30th November 2017), Maxim Integrated Products demonstrated new turnkey technologies that protect embedded and connected systems from invasive attacks. As cyber attacks continue making headlines, design engineers struggle to safeguard their products while meeting stringent time-to-market and budget constraints. Meanwhile, safety standard certification costs continue to rise. Maxim’s embedded s...

As Sui Shieh, VP, Industrial & Healthcare, Maxim Integrated, explains, technology is bringing the world of clinical monitoring and fitness monitoring closer together. The world is spending around $9tn a year on healthcare – to put that in perspective that’s ten percent of global GDP. This situation is even more acute in the US with estimates quoting that healthcare will account for around 20% of GDP within five years.  

The security market and its needs have evolved, and security attacks have become more sophisticated over time. The requirements placed on the market to stay ahead of the hackers has also increased significantly as everything around us has become more connected.

At next week's international VDI Congress ELIV (Electronics In Vehicles) in Bonn, Germany (18th to 19th October 2017), Maxim Integrated Products will demonstrate its mixed signal and analogue solutions for the car of the future. Designing tomorrow’s vehicles calls for technology that keeps up with increasing demands for greater safety and connectivity. Maxim’s high-performance, automotive-grade ICs meet the stringent quality and relia...

To increase battery life and efficiency, the MAX77650 / MAX77651 power management ICs (PMICs) from have been laucnhed by Maxim Integrated. Now designers of Bluetooth headphones, activity monitors, smart garments, smartwatches, and other size-constrained devices no longer need to worry about battery time.

A synchronous buck, high-brightness LED controller has been released by Maxim Integrated Products. The company claim that the MAX20078 is the only product available which provides both fast response time and low electromagnetic interference (EMI) for exterior LED lighting and improved safety applications. Suitable for matrix lighting designs, the LED controller allows designers to achieve high performance, ease of design, and fast time-...

Following the introduction of the MAX14819 dual-channel, IO-Link master transceiver from Maxim Integrated Products, designers of Industry 4.0 applications can now achieve robust communications and reduce power dissipation by 50%. Today’s fanless programmable logic controller (PLC) and IO-Link gateway systems must dissipate large amounts of power depending on IO configuration (IO-Link, digital input/output, analogue input/output).

Learn how the MAX14819 IO-Link master transceiver addresses key trends for industrial communications with over 50% lower power dissipation, robust communications in harsh environments and a scalable, flexible architecture.

Learn the key differences between the SC2200 and SC1894 RF Power Amplifier Lineariser (RFPAL) devices.

In order to achieve long-term system reliability, system architects can now rapidly comply to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and safety integrated level (SIL) standards with the MAX17572 and MAX17574 Himalaya synchronous step-down DC/DC converters from Maxim Integrated Products. The company claims that these converters provide a 40% reduction in power dissipation and shrink solution size by 50% compared to other solutio...

It is now possible for designers of primary cell wearable medical and fitness applications to significantly reduce solution size by 50% and extend battery life with the MAX20310 ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) from Maxim Integrated Products. The wearable PMIC supports a low input voltage of 0.7V for new high-energy density battery architectures such as Zinc Air and Silver Oxide, as well as the more comm...
