Maxim introduces the MAX9937, a high-side current-sense amplifier that uses external resistors to set the voltage gain for maximum design flexibility. The MAX9937 protects against accidental application of battery voltage in the reverse (wrong) direction and against inductive kickback transients and...

Maxim introduces the MAX9597, a fully integrated, +3.3V SCART solution for set-top boxes and A/V receivers that have one SCART connector. Designed to enable greener consumer applications, this device utilizes power-saving technology to reduce power consumption. Maxim's DirectDrive technology enables...

Vishay broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of an 870-nm SMD infrared emitter in a PLCC2 package. The VSMF4720 combines a viewing angle of ±60° with a radiant intensity of 16mW/sr at 100mA. The combination makes the device usefull for data transmission applications such as i...

Maxim introduces the MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358, 8-channel, I²C switches/multiplexers with bus lockup detection, isolation, and notification. These devices enable a master to isolate slaves that may otherwise have address conflicts and to communicate with each of them individually. The MAX7357 and MAX7...

Vishay released a ESD-protection array to protect USB-OTG ports against transient voltage signals. The device provides three lines of USB ESD protection at a 5.5-V working range, and one line of VBUS protection at a 12-V working range. The VBUS053AZ-HAF is packaged in the leadless LLP75-7L, with a 1...

Maxim introduces the MAX14752/MAX14753 8-channel/dual 4-channel, high-voltage multiplexers. These devices feature ultra-low leakage (20nA, max), low on-resistance (60Ω, typ), and low on-resistance flatness (0.03Ω, typ) to minimize the voltage errors introduced by series current-limiting re...

Maxim introduces the MAX4989, a bidirectional, 2-of-4, USB 2.0 crosspoint switch. This device switches any 2 of 4 USB pairs while supporting data rates up to 480Mbps, thus enabling multiple USB host devices to be switched simultaneously. To enable this performance, the MAX4989 features 5.0Ω (ty...
