Ultra-low-jitter clock generators for telecommunications infrastructure equipment
Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) introduced a new family of clock generators that provides ultra-low jitter of 100 femtoseconds (fs) and flexible, unique pin control options. Compared to conventional reference clock solutions, the new clock generators’ jitter performance enables system designers to optimize system timing margins and bit error rate (BER) to reduce data transmission […]
FDAs handle 7 GHz signals
Texas Instruments announced two new fully differential amplifiers (FDAs) that provide DC-coupled applications with best-in-class AC performance to improve system capabilities and performance. The LMH3401 and LMH5401 FDAs provide higher bandwidth and slew rate, and lower distortion than existing ADC drivers. The performance of the LMH3401 and LMH5401 can enable radar systems that help keep […]

Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) expanded its broad portfolio of industry-leading sensing integrated circuits (ICs) with four new devices that allow engineers to accurately sense key parameters in tight spaces with very low power. These new products provide solutions for temperature, humidity, ambient light and capacitive sensing in a host of industrial and enterprise applications. […]
Using LTspice for power supply design
Simulation using a SPICE simulator (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is handy for checking out designs before building them as well as helping to understand designs and circuit problems. You can experiment without blowing anything up! LTspice from Linear Technology is particularly useful as it is free and available to download from their web […]
Texas Instruments Names Winner of TI Analog Design Contest
Texas Instruments awarded Adam Munich, a freshman from Rochester Institute of Technology, as the overall winner of the Engibous Prize in its sixth annual TI Analog Design Contest. This contest showcases the innovative projects and competitive spirit of today’s future engineers. Munich’s project focused on improving the original Tesla coil, which is used to produce high-voltage, low-current […]
