National Semiconductor introduced a 14-bit, 155 mega-sample per second (MSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that offers a full-power bandwidth of 1.1 GHz. The ADC14155's high bandwidth performance allows it to digitize the first IF, eliminating the need for the second IF stage.

The ADC14155 p...

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX4910 quad, single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch. This switch handles negative signals with a single positive power supply. The MAX4910 features integrated shunt resistors to ground. This design reduces audio click-and-pop sounds by depleting the c...

Chipidea presented a design for an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter. Built for a 90 nanometer CMOS process, the ADC is designed for 1.2 Volt supplied chips and offers an low power dissipation benchmark of 55 mW. The ADC samples at a rate of 1GHz per second, giving it the performance needed for targ...

A triple-channel multiplexer for video switching from Intersil has been designed for driving drives video loads, and double or back-terminated loads. The ISL59448 is a triple-channel 2:1 multiplexer with an integrated gain-of-2 buffer that delivers 1600V/us slew rate and 500MHz bandwidth. The device...

Giving designers a source of small-footprint capacitors for mobile electronic systems, Vishay announced the release of a family of leadframeless tantalum capacitors with face-down terminations.The 298D MicroTan surface-mount capacitors provide capacitance values from 1 μF at 16 V to 47 μF ...

STMicroelectronics has unveiled its new integrated RF synthesizers with embedded voltage-controlled oscillators, low integrated phase noise and large band coverage. ST’s synthesizers are single-chip devices with available output frequency above 3.0 GHz. The measured values of the STW81101 and STW811...

Maxim introduces the MAX5440 controller for audio volume and balance. A debounced rotary-encoder interface directly controls volume and balance. No external microcontroller, GPIO, or debounce circuitry is required for the control interface. An integrated algorithm separately controls volume and bala...
