The TS5510 two-channel analog front end from Triad Semiconductor is a mixed-signal IC designed to handle both low-level microphone inputs and high-level line signals within a single input stage for professional and prosumer audio systems. Based on a current-conveyor architecture, the device supports a total input capture range of 156 dB, greater than 90 dB […]
Socket adapter bridges fine-pitch BGA to test gear
The 0.8 mm pitch BGA socket adapter from Ironwood Electronics provides an interposer solution for prototyping, testing and programming chip-scale BGA devices with ultra-fine footprints. The adapter supports a 19 × 19 mm body with a 22 × 22 array 484-ball BGA package and can be surface-mounted to a top adapter or used in a […]
Cryogenic RF switch cuts thermal load
The MM4250 cryogenic SP6T switch from Menlo Microsystems is designed for switching and control of high-speed and RF signals inside dilution refrigerators used in quantum computing and cryogenic research. Using electrostatic actuation, the switch draws only hundreds of nanoamps per operation, resulting in a near-zero thermal footprint that avoids temperature rise and cooldown delays associated […]
