Free software simulation tool helps select ESD components
ST Microelectronics has introduced a new software tool that guides the selection of the right protection components for integrated-circuit designs right from the beginning. People, clothing, and objects can easily accumulate static charges of many thousands of volts that may give a minor shock to the human body but present a growing threat to increasingly […]
Precision 16-V Op Amps
feature low input-offset voltage, CMRR
STMicroelectronics has introduced the new TSX7 series of precision 16 V op amps that combine high accuracy with a wide operating-voltage range and excellent robustness. The low input-offset voltage, Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), and temperature drift eliminate any need for trimming or calibration in the assembled circuit while ensuring consistent performance over a wide […]
36-V op amps target industrial uses
The TSB572 and TSB611 single op amps are the first devices produced using ST’s new 40V-ready BiCMOS semiconductor process. This technology delivers superior GBW/Icc efficiency resulting in about five times lower supply current in relation to performance, compared with standard op amps. In addition, low input-offset voltages with temperature drift below 6µV/°C simplify system design, […]
4-ball WLCSP EEPROM with multiple I2C addresses
STMicroelectronics has extended its M24 serial EEPROM family with four new devices that are fully compatible with the industry-standard 4-ball WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) footprint. The new additions also enable, for the first time, to connect two or more 4-pin EEPROMs to the same I2C bus with an individual I2C address hard-wired internally. […]
