Analog Devices has created a pair of 22V stereo Class-D audio amplifier that idle at 6mA and shut-down to microamps. MAX98415A and MAX98425A are similar, and both including envelope tracking control that saves power by instructing an external dc-dc converter to provide the amplifiers main power input with just enough voltage for clean output signals. The difference between the two ...

110V 1A power op-amp has digital control
Analog Devices has created a fast power op-amp that can handle ±55V rails and ±1A outputs, with a digital control bus for setting internal parameters. Called ADHV4710, the output can swing ±52V with ±100mA loading, and its rails can vary down to ±12V. Despite being able to drive ±1300V/μs into 1nF, it is a voltage feedback amplifier, that can handle ...
Viewpoint: Rupert Baines – Serial entrepreneur, permanently curious
As a curious veteran, writes Ash Madni, I like to keep my eye on which UK companies’ startup then make it successfully to an exit. UltraSoc was one such company but what was particularly interesting about it was their CEO, Rupert Baines. So I reached out to him and to my surprise, he responded. I was instantly impressed when I ...
In conversation with with Fiona Treacy
Fiona is the managing director of industrial automation at Analog Devices. She tells Caroline Hayes how her career started, her top emerging tech tips and why women are important during this time of skills shortages.

What caught your eye? (Intel funding, Rotating magnets, Australian rocket)
The status of Intel’s Chips Act money with the new U.S. administration, recording the motion of a rotating magnet without power, and the first orbital flight of an Australian rocket from Australian soil...
Electronica: Gbit/s TSN deterministic industrial Ethernet switches with security
ADI is aiming at Industrial Ethernet with ADIN6310, a deterministic six-port switch that implements TSN (time sensitive networking) and security. “TSN facilitates a single converged network where both mission-critical real-time and non-real time data co-exist,” according to the company. “Redundancy features allow for fail-over and increased network up-time, while the packet assist engine off-loads the host processor.” The IC has ...
Electronica: Magnetic angle sensor IC works over 46 turns, with the power off
ADI has announced an IC that can not only measure the angle of a nearby rotating magnet, but can count up to 46 complete turns even when the chip has no power. For those who like puzzles, look away for a couple of minutes to work out the mechanism for yourself, as it is going to be explained in the ...
Anglia regrets ADI franchise decision
Anglia is taking the unusual step of issuing a press release following the loss of a significant franchise. Whilst acknowledging that ADI is perfectly within its rights to terminate its agreements with Anglia and two other regional EMEA distributors, the company believes that the decision will have a negative impact on customer choice. Explains Anglia’s CEO, Steve Rawlins: “Not everyone ...
