Two-channel, high-speed op amps feature slew rates to 10V/µs
ROHM announced the availability of a two-channel, high-speed, ground sense CMOS operational amplifier (op-amp), BD77502FVM, optimized for consumer and industrial equipment requiring high-speed sensings – such as industrial measurement and control systems. The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) in recent years has led to a significant increase in the number of electronic components used for […]
Voice-first evaluation kit features analog processor and live-audio test option
Aspinity launched its Voice-First Evaluation Kit (EVK2), a complete hardware/software development kit that demonstrates Aspinity’s ultra-low-power edge processing solution for analog voice activity detection and preroll. The new EVK2 enables customers to easily integrate analog machine learning and analog data compression into battery-operated voice-enabled devices, such as hearables/wearables, smart speakers, and smart TV remotes, facilitating […]
Two-wire, hall effect switches operate over -40 C to 150 C
Diodes Incorporated has announced a family of automotive-compliant, two-wire unipolar (AH323xQ/4xQ) and latch (AH327xQ/8xQ) switch integrated circuits (ICs) that provide high sensitivity and high stability over wide operating voltage and temperature ranges. The ICs are for use in automotive proximity- and position-sensing applications, including seatbelt buckle, power window, gear selector, and seat position. The adoption […]
Dual 5-V op amp sports 50-MHz gain-bandwidth, low input offset voltage, 6.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise
STMicroelectronics’ TSV792 dual 5V operational amplifier (op-amp) combines 50MHz gain-bandwidth with precision attributes including low input offset voltage and extremely low input voltage noise of just 6.5nV/√Hz. The typical 50MHz gain-bandwidth product enables accurate amplification of high-frequency signals. Adding a fast slew rate of 30V/µs, the TSV792 is suited to photodiode-signal conditioning in battery-powered smoke detectors. […]
Capacitor technology combines multiple cap values on single die
Empower Semiconductor announced a breakthrough with the highest performance, most configurable, and smallest commercially available range of capacitors. E-CAP is a vastly superior performing capacitor, far exceeding the semiconductor industry’s previously leading Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC). The capacitor is one of the most basic and fundamental components in electronics needed for energy storage and supply […]
Rad-hard 14-bit ADC optimized for apps in space
Renesas is excited to introduce the ISL73141SEH ADC, delivering the industry’s highest performance for radiation-hardened space applications. The ISL73141SEH ADC is one of the key signal-path building blocks in long-duration geosynchronous/geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) communication satellites and manned spacecraft, including lunar space missions. By delivering the industry’s best dynamic and static performance, the new 14-bit […]
Multilayer chip NTC thermistors mount via conductive adhesion
TDK Corporation announces the development of new chip NTC thermistors designed for conductive adhesion mounting, expanding TDK’s NTCSP series product lineup. The chip NTC thermistors are used for temperature sensing and compensation, measuring without direct contact in automotive applications including ABS, inside the transmission or engine, and more. The new NTCSP series part numbers are […]
LNA offers 15-dB typ gain over up to 170 GHz
For the emerging number of millimeter-wave applications above 100 GHz, the model ITI-110-170-15-6 low-noise amplifier (LNA) from Impulse Technologies offers 15-dB typical gain over the wide frequency range of 110 to 170 GHz. It features a typical noise figure of 6 dB over that high-frequency range. The broadband LNA is equipped with UG-387 as the […]
WL-CSP 25-W RF switch replaces mechanical relays
Menlo Microsystems, Inc. announced the production release of the MM5130, the first high-performance RF switch manufactured with their proprietary Ideal Switch technology. The MM5130 is designed to handle 25W with ultra-low losses, in a miniaturized wafer-level chip-scale-package (WL-CSP). Historically, this level of performance has been reserved for large RF mechanical relays, which have major drawbacks. […]
