2.7GHz, 60dB Mean-Squared RF Detector Responds in 500ns
A new wide dynamic range mean-squared RF detector from Linear Technology sets a new level of accuracy and speed performance. The LT5570 provides accurate RMS (Root-Mean-Squared) power measurement of a 40MHz to 2.7GHz AC signal over 60dB dynamic range, even with a modulation crest-factor of up to 12dB. It offers best-in-class measurement accuracy of ±0.5dB over its full dynamic range and over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Moreover, the...

TI linear regulator said to cut MSP430 standby power consumption in half
Texas Instruments has introduced 150-mA, low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) with dual-level voltage output for MSP430 microcontroller-based, battery-powered devices. Consuming the lowest quiescent current in the industry at 500-nanoAmps, the LDO’s voltage select (VSET) pin gives designers the ability to switch between two voltage levels to customize and cut power consumption in half during operation.
