Texas Instruments has introduced a monolithic 12-bit, 500 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) providing unmatched size and performance. The new pipeline ADC offers 64.5 dBFS signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) up to 500 MHz input frequency at 500 MSPS, bringing a new class of performance to customers previously confined to 8- and 10-bits of resolution. In a space-saving 14 mm x 14 mm package, the new ADC meets the resolution and speed requirements of ...

Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced the FDZ191P, said to be the industry’s smallest footprint P-channel MOSFET offering the optimal thermal and electrical performance necessary for power conversion, charging and load management in an array of low-voltage (

Semtech has introduced the SX8722, a complete, high-resolution data acquisition device for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors used in portable industrial and consumer sensing applications. The SX8722 interfaces with most Wheatstone bridge chemical, pressure or magnetic sensors to condition and read data. The device features Semtech’s ZoomingADC, a 16-bit analog/digital converter (ADC) with a 10-bit preamplifier to allow the device ...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4089 and LTC4089-5, each featuring an autonomous power manager, ideal diode controller and standalone high-voltage switching battery charger for portable USB devices. For high efficiency charging, their switching topology accommodates various inputs, including high voltage power sources up to 36V (40V max) such as 12V AC-DC wall adapters, FireWire ports or automotive batteries. In addition, they accept low-...
