High-Side Power Monitor from Linear Technology
Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4151, a high side power monitor that measures current and input voltages from 7V to 80V. The LTC4151 utilizes an internal 12-bit ADC to continuously measure both high side current and input voltage to give a true power reading. The LTC4151 replaces prior solutions that use costly current sense amplifiers with a separate ADC, a hot-swap controller with an ADC, or an ADC with a floating ground.
Catalyst Semiconductor Launches Lower Power 8-Bit I2C/SMBus I/O Expander
Catalyst Semiconductor has expanded its line of bus products with the CAT9534, an 8-bit general purpose input/output (GPIO) expander for I2C and SMBus-based systems. The CAT9534 is pin-for-pin and functionally compatible with Catalyst’s industry-standard CAT9554, but operates at 100 times lower standby power, making it the perfect choice for battery-powered and “green” systems applications.
16-Bit, 105Msps Low-Noise ADC Achieves 81.2dB SNR at Half the Power 1200mW
