Analog switch integrated chips (ICs), when turned on, will conduct both analog and digital signals from the input pin to the output pin. Digital switches can only accept digital signals and duplicate the logic level on the input pin at the output pin. When the digital switch is turned off, it returns to a default […]

RF-to-Bits tuner chips simplify vehicle head unit designs
Using the remote tuner solution from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., designers can significantly simplify the head unit design of a vehicle and reduce cables. The MAX2175 RF to Bits tuner within the solution eliminates the need to rework the vehicle’s hardware to support worldwide radio standards, allowing updates by simply changing the vehicle’s software. Traditional radio architecture […]
Highly integrated IO-Link® temperature sensor
Maxim Integrated’s IO-Link smart temperature sensor reference design lowers cost and increases uptime for industrial control and automation. Designers can save power, cost, and space with the MAXREFDES42# IO-Link temperature sensor reference design (RD) from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM). The new MAXREFDES42# IO-Link resistance temperature detector (RTD) joins the company’s portfolio of other […]
1-Wire Thermocouple-to-Digital Converters
The MAX31850/MAX31851, cold-junction-compensated, 1-Wire thermocouple-to-digital converters were introduced today. The devices achieve ±2.0°C accuracy (not including sensor nonlinearity) while integrating all of the functions required for a complete (thermocouple-to-digital solution). Additionally, the MAX31850/MAX31851’s 1-Wire interface allows multiple sensor locations to communicate and draw power over a single data line, greatly simplifying wiring requirements. Designers can […]
