Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX2112 zero-IF, direct-conversion tuner for satellite TV. This tuner receives QPSK and 8PSK signals in the 925MHz to 2175MHz range, and downconverts them to baseband for demodulation. It provides a 8.0dB noise figure and wide, -75dBm to 0dBm dynamic range, t...
Ambarella announced a video CODEC chip targeting the broadcast market. The Ambacast 3000 processor more than doubles the computing power of its predecessors and can be programmed for increased video quality as well as encoding full 1080x1920 resolution HD at 60 frames per second in a single chip. Th...
Freescale and ArrayComm have developed a reference design for WiMAX base station equipment. The solution combines ArrayComm’s multi antenna signal processing software (A-MAS) with Freescale’s MSC8144 quad-core digital signal processor. The reference design leverages the performance of the MSC8144 DS...
A low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) 4 x 4 crosspoint switch from National Semiconductor delivers a jitter performance of 10 ps typical at data transmission rates up to 3.125 Gbps. The DS25CP104 offers a feature set to enhance signal integrity in demanding applications such as XAUI (telecom) ...
