Maxim introduces the MAX16815/MAX16828/MAX16835/MAX16836 high-voltage, linear high-brightness LED (HB LED) drivers capable of driving HB LEDs from a 6.5V to 40V input supply. These single-channel devices integrate a pass element with 0.4V (typ) dropout voltage, thus eliminating the need for an exter...

Intersil has introduced a battery authentication ICs for cell phones. The ISL9206 and ISL9206A are battery authentication ICs that incorporate Intersil’s FlexiHash+ engine. It provides very high levels of security using a basic challenge/response scheme based on 32-bit challenge code and 8-bit respo...

Linear Technology introduces the LTC4443/-1, a synchronous MOSFET driver designed to drive upper and lower power N-Channel MOSFETs in synchronous rectified converter topologies. This driver, combined with power MOSFETs and one of Linear Technology’s many DC/DC controllers, forms a complete synchrono...

STMicroelectronics announced a integrated power-management solution for MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) networks. The L5961 power management IC, which has been designed in cooperation with fabless semiconductor manufacturer SMSC to work with that company’s MOST network processors, inclu...

Epcos has developed two series of current sense transformers that are particularly suitable for compact DC/DC converters. They have dimensions of 8.33 x 7.11 mm² and 4.7 x 3.5 mm². The primary winding is already integrated in all types. Both series cover winding ratios from 1:2...
